Get PAID to ride my bike?!! I'm in! Especially if my objective is to get to the Sparrows warehouse. Rumor it, they secure their doors with a Kwikset...🙃
@@bosnianbill Oh.. I'm in.. Pick your way to Canadia. From bike to bike.. Legal of course. You would ask permission first. Attach a master-lock to every bike in turn.
I love sparrows picks. feel good work great and i can afford them. thank you Bill for turning me on to such a great company with awesome product right out the pack
I’ve helped a lot of people getting into there dial locks thanks to you and LPL and all your videos, tonight I’ve purchased my first pick set .. thanks guys.!!
Was looking around for a small kit after doing some learning for a while now. I always watch your and LPL's vids. This kit was still around 2020 from UKlockpickers! Thanks alot for demoing the kit. Cheers
Hey Bill, sometimes i'll use that cross hatching on those pry bars to remove sharp edges or burs from my picks after a lot of use. Idk if that's what it's there for, but it's nifty.
I have to say im leary of the shortness of these but i know they put out superior products and i trust your judgement so am considering ordering a set. Thanks bb!
Very interesting approach to an ergonomic handle. Can't wait to see what they think of next. Maybe next time they name their set after an invertebrate and have a jelly handle! Ha!
Love the videos Bill. I randomly discovered your channel about 3 weeks ago. I clicked on a video just for the hell of it. Next thing I knew I was subscribed and have watch too many of your videos to count. I'm definitely going to have to give this lock sport thing a try. It looks like so much fun.
Just ordered the nightcrawler and a small set of Bogota picks from UKbumpkey. As one who carries a large assortment of edc, I needed a smaller set than my tuxedo. I tend to be a faithful customer to good companies. Olight and Sparrows seem to get lots of my dough.
I have to wonder if anyone has suggested to Sparrows that a couple of the spined Nightcrawler Rakes' handles could be fashioned as comb picks. I know it cuts into their Comb 45 sales, but it might be an idea to look into.
I just got a night crawler and am very pleased with it, the spines on the handles may be a bit uncomfortable for long sessions but they work really well. for some reason the short hook will zip a masterlock faster than any other short hook I have and the other picks work as well.
I was thinking that. I'm already using the comparable picks from Banggood (my starter set), and wish I had some flat bars or more hook diversity. I'd sooner get the Spirit or (more likely) Lawlock Valerian.
I do like Sparrows stuff. The Praxis kit from ukbumpkeys is my day to day go to kit but I keep a sparrows bomba royale handy too and I’m pretty happy with the quality. Just wish they’d ditched the knife and added a worm...
Awesome, I like you are a fanboy of Sparrow stuff and I am not ashamed to say this lol. Those new products look interesting I only wish I had some extra $$ to pick up a set. Good job sir.
Sparrows do have excellent stuff, I also like Southord kits as well. I tend to mix & match from both companies, as my needs require. As a Paramedic, we often get called to places where doors are locked and we need to get access without breaking down doors. Great video Bill and thanks for your "trainer" vids as well, a few of us learned good techniques from you.
Leave it to Sparrows once again, to come to the table with some neat, new stuff to make me open my wallet! Excellent review of the new products, and very generous giveaway! Bill, you are sort of like the Santa Claus of locksport with you product giveaways! Thanks as always!
Good thing is you can make that money back easy when you rake into your neighbors house when they are on holiday and steal there cash they have lying around.
I've been eyeing these up and waiting for weeks for the release. I found the listings hidden in their product index page a little bit back, and i even asked them about them. of course they were tight lipped and didnt get back to me on that at first lol. i thought maybe they were discontinued stuff i missed, until i saw the kwikset hex key listing and a picture to go with the slivers on the listing in index with new price. that was a few days ago. since then, i've just been waiting for release to pull the trigger. sadly the scarabs werent available to me. idk if they sold out or arent in stock yet, but ill grab em soon enough. im loving/hating all these releases sparrows sure knows to to separate me from my cash. really excited about the slivers, but worried as well lol still waiting for their christmas ornament to release. hoping scarabs are in by then so i can do it in one order; already made two large orders recently now. cant keep doing that lol
Repeat after me - I am special. I am important. I am loved. I am part of a community of lockpickers who value my opinion. Keep going until you believe it. It’s probably all true and, even if it isn’t, the world will seem nicer if *you* do.
Really liking those night crawlers. Hope I win but if not I will be really tempted to save up a little and go buy this set... Oh, and the scarab is beautiful as well as effective.
I dig the new kit, looks funky and the size is handy.👍🏽The 12 thou kit... I'd just destroy. Lol. Getting super fancy now with the Scarab set! Super cool.🍺😎
The handles on the Nightcrawler set aren't uncomfortable? I'm really tempted to buy a set but it seems like it would be a bit uncomfortable. (And yeah, I realize they're not meant too be used for hours on end. 😏
Really like the knurled tensioners, but not really interested in the short picks. It'd be cool if Sparrows came out with a tensioner set that included these.
Does anyone keep a database on suggestions for certain kinds of locks? I've just started picking. I started, because I own three padlocks with no keys. Two of my padlocks were locked to a very heavy chain. They're all three Masters. The loose one, a No. 3, is the first one I tried, and I can pick that one, the No. 5, which was attached to the chain, no problem. But, I have a No. 220, that I've been working on now for about three hours, and, no luck so far. Any suggestions?
Sparrows is in Pennsylvania now! 2 hrs down the road from me! In the last few years we got Kahr arms literally up the road 20 minutes, now Sparrows moving to PA it’s nice! Now if our governor could stop taxing the ever living shit out of us it’d be great!
Coming up! I went to Home Depot to pick up a new smartlock but they were temporarily sold out. I head over to Lowes and get one, then make a vid of the Hex tool. It looks like fun.
MrRokashans' Meanderings and Misadventures - I dunno. They’re a bit unwieldy for someone in a hurry. More for a badass locksmith looking to make a positive impression on a customer before they get the invoice...
Hi Bill. In this video, you made use of a wooden deadbolt lock holder display, to test the scarab pick, which I also see in mall hardwares? Is this something you make yourself or something you can buy commercially? Does it have a specific product name? Thanks!
Great review Bill but I am questioning the name of the micro kit considering nightcrawlers are normally longer than regular worms I personally would’ve called it the red worm kit sense red worms are normally shorter than regular worms
The handle on the scarab is kind of huge. I must have it but I think I will have to reshape that handle. Aesthetics don't grab my attention in tools. Sometimes they are just in the way.

Not sure that they make a rocket powered bicycle that he could ride. Besides, don't you need a passport to get to Canada these days?
We’re going to miss you Bill! Thanks for all the years of sharing your knowledge.

LpL has some real skills .
I finished my Sparrows Tuxedo picks with 150 grit sandpaper first, then I polish the edges with 800 grit emery cloth. It makes them very smooth.
Was looking around for a small kit after doing some learning for a while now. I always watch your and LPL's vids. This kit was still around 2020 from UKlockpickers! Thanks alot for demoing the kit. Cheers

They have come up again with some great items. Might need to order something for my own christmas stocking!
I remember Wizwazzle. Been playing with this hobby for about 13 years now.
Bill, thank you for all the wonderful videos. Recently started watching your tutorial vids, and love them. Thank you.
Sparrows always made impressive products! Thank you for your very informative video, Sir!
I've found that a good tensioner is unbelievably important. A good top of the keyway tensioner has been a lifesaver.
Very interesting approach to an ergonomic handle. Can't wait to see what they think of next. Maybe next time they name their set after an invertebrate and have a jelly handle! Ha!
_Nice!_
I'm waiting on my Dark Shift set and Revolver to arrive from Sparrows, but I really want these to keep in my belt.
Wow, they keep coming up with interesting stuff. Can't wait to see what is next from Sparrows.

I really love the Sparrows design philosophy and that they take ergonomics serious- good for my old arthritic fingers.
Can't wait to try them out .... I love sparrows products
Thanks for another great vid Bill. Can't wait to get my hands on some of those. 012 picks
I like how he sowed how to position tensioner hand on door frame.
Thank you for another great video Bill.
Nightcrawler looks great, I love the idea of short picks.
Great review my friend, The night crawler could use a deep hook also.
I was thinking that. I'm already using the comparable picks from Banggood (my starter set), and wish I had some flat bars or more hook diversity. I'd sooner get the Spirit or (more likely) Lawlock Valerian.
I call dibs on the Night Crawler giveaway!
Is that a new theme song at the end? Catchy...
Awesome content Bill, I only see one flaw with the Nightcrawler and the sliver kit, no DeForest diamonds. As always, love your videos thank you Bill!
Might have to look into this to take on trips to family on the holidays so I can pick locks 🔒
Great work, Sparrows. Loving these.
The scarab raking didn't actuate the bolt (13:20) even though the key did (12:50).
I think the lock was opened but further rotation was necessary to activate the bolt.
Hey bill.
If you remember I designed the Franken pick and sent you one.
I also sent it to Sparrows... it's now the Scarab.
Thanks for the good review
I do like Sparrows stuff. The Praxis kit from ukbumpkeys is my day to day go to kit but I keep a sparrows bomba royale handy too and I’m pretty happy with the quality. Just wish they’d ditched the knife and added a worm...

That's a great tool..love it..Great Giveaway, Good Job Bill. Keep up the good work. 😉
Wow, Nice review. I didn't even know they came out with new stuff yet.
I am tempted to buy the night crawler just for the case for my edc tension wrenches I carry more tension wrenches then picks 😄

12:30 UV paint does NOT mean they glow in the dark. It refers to the printing process.

I've been eyeing these up and waiting for weeks for the release. I found the listings hidden in their product index page a little bit back, and i even asked them about them. of course they were tight lipped and didnt get back to me on that at first lol. i thought maybe they were discontinued stuff i missed, until i saw the kwikset hex key listing and a picture to go with the slivers on the listing in index with new price. that was a few days ago. since then, i've just been waiting for release to pull the trigger.

Very cool set of picks n tools!!! Nice skinny little things..
Love the videos and get some great help and advice from them. Great giveaways also.
Keep up the good work👏👏
Awesome video! I'm going to have to pick up one of those edc kits!
My opinion isn’t worth much but I have to say I really like the Sparrows rakes.

Adam West absolutely true!
Fantastic reviews Bill. So we'll forgive the wrench flying across the table. 😂
.012 picks... Now that's really thin.
"Fan Boy"? Why not! With such quality and a price that won't break the bank. Sparrow's.
very interesting little set
I have been wanting a set of .012 for a long time now! I have a set of .015 but sometimes you need something a lil thinner
The easiest way to get that is to grind them down a little .Keep cooling it to maintain integrity .
@@jinyow5581 sparrows has a set now!
@@Westhelockpicker Cool
Really liking those night crawlers. Hope I win but if not I will be really tempted to save up a little and go buy this set... Oh, and the scarab is beautiful as well as effective.
another great offering from sparrows
Don't feel bad about liking what you do, as long as you're honest about it
I dig the new kit, looks funky and the size is handy.👍🏽The 12 thou kit... I'd just destroy. Lol. Getting super fancy now with the Scarab set! Super cool.🍺😎
For reasons unknown to me I have never susses fully raked opens lock. Single pin never denied... What am I missing Bosnian bill
The handles on the Nightcrawler set aren't uncomfortable? I'm really tempted to buy a set but it seems like it would be a bit uncomfortable. (And yeah, I realize they're not meant too be used for hours on end. 😏
I think the spine thing is suppose to represent an actual spine in your body.
nah its a centipede
Really like the knurled tensioners, but not really interested in the short picks. It'd be cool if Sparrows came out with a tensioner set that included these.
Nice set of picks
Fan Boi Bill... Has a nice ring to it 😂🤣👍
Those are a really nice set would love to have some I guess if I don't win I can always order from sparrows
Awesome giveaway wow! Cheers Bill 🍻
Whauzers, those scareb ping-pong bat things are ehm fast but weird!
Scarabs and Nightcrawler, velly intellesting!
You are having fun fan boy :D Good tools. I'd love to try then :)

What about the new smart key hex tool
Coming up! I went to Home Depot to pick up a new smartlock but they were temporarily sold out. I head over to Lowes and get one, then make a vid of the Hex tool. It looks like fun.
One has to wonder if the scarab is meant more for speed pickers.

@@bosnianbill ah, ok. noted sir. Many thanks for your quick reply. Stay safe! : )
Great review Bill but I am questioning the name of the micro kit considering nightcrawlers are normally longer than regular worms I personally would’ve called it the red worm kit sense red worms are normally shorter than regular worms
Since the 3 hump Bogota and worms work so well why do they make 1 and 2 hump picks? Are they just filler?
Nice review, will be looking into them. Hope I get my name picked for the give away! :-)
About time they come out with 0.012 picks. I can’t afford multipick so sparrows is my go to 😢😢
Great review bill, the scarabs are interesting, did that shlague deadbolt have security pins?
Interesting picks
Damn thats a nice giveaway! I found your channel cause I want to start with lockpicking.
love the scarab
hoping for an in depth review of the sparrows christmas ornament when it comes out :p
Nice review as always ; -)
These new sets are really awesome looking!
Would love to win one, I hope my name gets drawn this time!
Nice bunch of tools, never had any I haven't made myself, hmmmm
Great vid!
Funny you should mention wizwazzle. I was just watching some of his vids and, yeah he doesn't take false set as a prisoner.
Nice 1 bill 👍
That's a nice set
really nice video and giveaway, Bill!!!!!

It's funny how every time I have a little bit of spare cash Sparrow's comes out with something awesome.
Awesome sets
As always, fantastic give away bonanza
scarab looks like fun
Have you done a MIWA lock?
these ridges look uncomfy, wonder how they feel with some heavy tension
