All my sparrows cutaways have been repinned with chess pins, ammo puns and scrooge pins.
They're great fun.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome 😎
That's some black belt level action son.
One thing I would suggest about this kit, especially as an all in one beginners kit, is having some top of the keyway tension turners. It's a different way to grip the lock, and a different thing to get your head around starting out. Sure, most locks can be bottom of the keyway, but it would have been nice if they added some top of the way for people to try on these practice locks.
TOK turners are very useful for sure
The tuxedo should include the monkeys paw definitely my favourite pick
I think the Sparrows cutaways and the revolver are good place s to begin picking they can give the basics but after so long they are not going to provide a challenge. I agree replacing the snake rake. It did not look like it would do anything that the 2 peak rake would probably do better
Yeah. You want to move onto real locks when you’re able
Had mine for quite some time, and I really like it. Use it as my lock strip bag
I purchased this kit when I got to the point where I was ready for a Decent lock pick set. The practice locks are great….even better when you add Lock Noob’s Chess pins!!! Have a great day.
BTW I ordered the Left handed practice locks with this kit, they accidentally sent one right handed cut out lock. When I inquired about returning it and getting the correct cut out lock, Sparrows told me to keep it and sent me the correct lock! Excellent company and tools.
Awesome 🤩
I have really enjoyed this kit, it is one of the first kits I bought and it has been a great start for me anyway
Cool, thanks for sharing 😃
After watching this video I just went to Sparrows website and purchased this kit. I have a really cheap "wallet kit" with sharp edges and pretty flimsy so this looks like a much better kit for a beginner especially with having those practice locks. Thanks
I like sparrows picks, but the fact they don't even bother to make the handles a bit thicker than the pick itself is pretty disappointing.
I bought the dark shift set, and they are disappointingly small and uncomfortable to use. They look awesome though.
It must be your hand size or something. I’ve got a lot of Sparrows picks. Both with and without the dipped handles. I’ve never had a problem with the dipped handles. The plain ones are thin and hard to manipulate. I have the Dark Shift as well. It’s my daily carry set. They do look cool and I don’t have trouble using them except for extended picking sessions. Then I get hand cramps. But for a quick pick job, they aren’t too bad. Most of the locks I have to use them on are usually cheap wafer locks on upright storage cabinets or file cabinets. So the handles aren’t too much of an issue as long as I get the locks picked fairly fast.
@FriedPi-mc5yt I've revisited the dark shift kit, and I think I'm growing to like it.
I kinda trained my brain to pick euro cylinders (bible to bottom), which doesn't suit the cut on the end of the pic handle.
I've since been onto sparrows website and spent a small fortune. Lol
@@callyboygid I’ve spent a small fortune with Sparrows too. Their stuff is pretty good and it’s not that expensive. You get a good bang for your buck. But they have enough odd things that get your attention, that it’s hard to avoid spending money with them. LOL!!
I have a hard time with the Sparrows training and practice locks without cutaways. I always find them crunchy and loose compared to "real" locks. Like fingernails on a chalkboard. The cutaways are great for learning and practicing, but they feel different when picking. Cool though!
Yeah, you can’t beat ‘real locks’ but cutaways have their place imo
@@LockNoob abso-truth-ly
Good beginning set with opportunities to expand. Yes, they do use the SC1 keyway. I would have preferred to drop one of the turners ( or added) a Top Of Keyway turner.
TOK turners are very useful
I bought this set three maby four years ago. It's a quality set. If I remember right I I payed about $100 for it. I thought it a tad expensive. But sparrows is quite a bit cheaper than Peterson lock picks, which is my favorite lockpicks, based on quality.
I would like to have one of those sets with some top of the keyway wrenches. It's missing in the begginers kits and it can't be an all-in-one without it.
TOK are very useful
I really like Sparrows stuff. They’ve gotten a good amount of my hard earned cash. I like their dipped handles. I’ve got one of their large pick cases that’s almost full of all their standard dipped handle picks. It sits right next to my chair for when I get a new lock to pick. Good quality picks at a fair price.
👍
I bought the Night School set over the holidays (not Tuxedo Edition). It was cheaper ($70) and came with everything shown in the video except the 3 extra picks.
I was a beginner so I figured I wouldn't need those extras. I could always buy them separately later. Besides, I really liked the zip-up bag and practice locks.
Basically, I'm pretty happy with what I got. I'd recommend the standard Night School set unless you value those extra picks from the Night School Tuxedo Edition.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the review! Looks like a really nice set.
Thanks for watching Gantry !
Another great review video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I bought a sparrows compettitor lock pick set it has rubber handle. Now I'm worried that I will not get the feedback as good as a metal handle. But don't know if it's true.
I want to learn locksport don't know if made the right choice.
I guess I got an older version of this. I did get the tuxedo version, but it wasn't laid out the same
This is a newest version
Nice set Ash mate great video 👍👊😎🇬🇧😊
Thanks Leon mate. Hope you’re doing good!
Is there specific kit or individual items you would recommend for a firefighter? We often run into situations where there’s an elderly person who’s fallen and can’t unlock the door. Of course, we can force our way in, but I hate doing that in these situations.
Sparrow’s has seemed to have removed their steel specs, which used to include a PSI; I looked for 301 Cold Max and can’t seem to find its particulars. Looking to see where it stands compared to all the other good steels out there as Sparrows seems to have gone down hill somewhat lately even going so far as copying other companies rather than blazing their own trail.
Sandman (a UA-camr) recently roasted them for their steel specification.
@@erichkitzmuellerthat’s just his opinion
Who did they copy ?
@@toddlofthouse8383 Yeah, Sandman seems to have a very strong negative opinion about Sparrows, which is not reflected in the reviews of the same tools by other renowned lockpickers.
@@erichkitzmueller yeah I think it’s a bit much I use multipick mainly but have all brands and think they all have pros and cons but I think he’s really negative and unnecessarily biased
looks good... sorry just a bit expensive... but if they want to give one away i am always willing 😂
On the subreddit and discord, people have criticized Sparrows for allegedly chamfering the chambers on those locks; what are your thoughts on that? Or for that matter, chamfering in general? I'm not sure what the goal is, if that would help or hurt when picking; I would assume the easier the pins can pop onto the "shelf" or outside of the plug (I'm assuming that's why the chamfering), the easier they could also slide back off of it and drop, esp when counter rotation comes into play with spools.
They only do that on the revolver tho
@@toddlofthouse8383 Good to know, if that's indeed the case. Some were saying they do it to all their locks. I don't have the revolver, so in that case, good news.
I know what 301 is, What is cold max stainless steel? I can't find it anywhere!
Cold rolled max yield 301 stainless steel
@@LockNoob Thank you!
Woo hoo I’m the first one!
Woo!!
People are critical of Sparrows quality going downhill, but I know you work with them and put out some cool gear. My issue with Sparrows, is that the rubberized handles should be a default, not an add on. Anyone's picks will just cut into your hands if bare metal. CI and Southern Specialties does laminated handles. Sparrows Canada told me the Monkey Paw set would have handles in mid October BUT they still don't have handles, not even an option on their site. How the heck can they be made in Canada but you can't even coat the handles in your own country? So many better handle companies, bare picks are of no interest to anyone these days. Sparrows should send me a set of Monkey Paws with rubberized handles for free just for lying to me.
Yup. Sparrows is slacking/lacking big time. Tier 2 metal. Inadequate polishing. Bare handles. If anyone else made the monkey paw sparrows would get 0 of my dollars. CI offers a better product in every way.
@@stanmarsh2499in sandman’s opinion
@@toddlofthouse8383 sandman’s got lots of opinions, most of them are correct. My above statement comes from being a professional locksmith in Austin and using these tools every day to make a living. Sparrows picks fatigue and bend faster than multipick and CI, the other two manufacturers I use. Their picks have to be sanded to give good feedback and they put out picks without laminated or dipped handles, it’s lazy business practice.
@@stanmarsh2499 I use multipick and sparrows and I’ve never broken a sparrows lock pick I prefer multipick but there is nothing wrong with sparrows just sick of how sand man talks why he has to use negative language like garbage when sparrows picks are far from it .
@@stanmarsh2499 also I use them straight out of the box as there nicely tumbled
SECOND.
Love the lock noob. 🔐
