I bought this pick set and they are quite roughly made. I would suggest that if you intend to use them buy some wet & dry abrasive paper and spend some time smoothing & polishing them, otherwise it'll feel like trying to pick with a hacksaw blade. Or you could just spend a couple of pounds more and get a Southord PXS-14 set.
Hope I've been helpful, it would be really helpful to me if you subscribe :D notifications don't need to be on for my videos by the sub would really help! Thanks
I've definitely managed to pick my old Yale lock front door with them, so easily it made me upgrade the lock to a dimple+sliders lock! And it's trivial to open network cabinets with them. So success for the things I wanted to use them for and the price. I'm sure someone who's used more costly tools may have a different view but for what I know.. I would buy and use again!

Are the picks of half decent quality? I bought this for £13.50, just waiting for it to arrive.
According to a similar kit that UA-cam channel "bosnianbill" reviewed the picks are not very good. But I also expect he has high expectations.
What are your thoughts on them?
Work fine for the training locks that they come with. I'm yet to try them in my own real locks.
Okay. Thanks.

Could you say how good they work with real locks?
