(1216) Review: RavenWorks Signature & 4-Piece Lock Pick Kits
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2018
- I had high hopes for the Signature lock pick kit from RavenWorks, as well as their 4-piece lock pick kits. The selection and variety of picks was outstanding and the case is wonderful. Unfortunately, the metal is quite soft and bends too easily. The kits are nice to look at, but not for using...too bad.

Viewer support = honest reviews. Thank you all supporters and patrons that allow Bill to pay the bills and maintain his obvious integrity...
Thanks Bill...
Great job, Bill. If they have anything about them they will take your advice onboard.
"I don't usually talk about cases" you say that every single time right before you give a detailed explanation of the case.
Ok...HARDLY ever... Maybe "OCCASIONALLY talk about cases" would be better...;)
I was looking at this kit two days ago,. Thanks for saving me a bad investment BosnianBill
Guys, if you're interested in a great single pin picking kit, go check out the sparrows monstrum kit. BBill uses the atilla from this exact kit in almost every video. Yes you might have to finish them a little (I didn't need to touch mine) and cut the rubber back a little (I did have to do to mine). Thanks for the great videos and great advice Bosnian Bill.
As always, great review Bill!
Appreciate the honesty! Your one of the rare few out there that can be trusted!
Thank BB !!! Your integrity in reviewing is appreciated. A shame the metal stock was lacking ... they should maybe offer the roll-up case separately...
appreciate the review ... Happy New Year!
John Mccormick you can get this exact case on Amazon for about $5, except it obviously doesn't have the logo on it. I coincidentally bought one the other day and it is amazing and is high quality and great! Here is the link if you want one

@@B1indB1ake13 thank you!!
Wish ì would of known of Mr.Bill's reviews back when ì started picking, ì would not have bought most of the junk ì did. It's funny when you shop for picks,most companies don't tell you what there picks are made of. That's what I love Mr.Bill's reviews. Thanks
Thanks for everything you do bill
Thank you for the great review as always! I have to agree with most, too bad they cut corners on the metal. It's nice that it comes with both top and bottom of the keyway tensioners, but again, too bad they are all 25 thou. Very nice case and add on. Still, would be happy to add it to my arsenal! Good luck everybody!
Great review, thanks for taking the time
New to lockpicking, love your vids and thanks for all the pointers!!!
nice review job, always honest opinion, best kind
Love watching Your videos. Always nice to see videos from you. Even if just every so often.
Thanks for the reviews good sir
Great review, thanks!
Great view - thanks Bill
I am glad I bought two P’Gems because I have bent one like you shown here. I always use it first. And FYI, I’m working on a challenge lock TODAY. Sorry taking me a long time because its my first. That’s my excuse.
Nice review bill
Well done good Sir!!
Thank you.
Great job.
The first one looks like a great set to give your competition.
I'm on the east coast as well. Stay warm
Nice set
Awesome
Those adds do my head in
Odd about the steel. You can't really heat treat 300-series stainless, but it can be work-hardened. I'd expect the cold roll process to get the steel fairly hard, but obviously that didn't happen here. I'd be curious to see how magnetic the steel is. 300 series stainless isn't very magnetic unless it's been work-hardened.
Really like the double ended kit. I'd buy it right now if it was just spring steel, or actual 301....
A bogata shouldn"t be a bonus but with RavenWorks it is ! LOL
Hey bill, I haven't been doing this for that long, but your reviews have been the go to before I purchase any products. Since I've gone through a bunch of different companies, I know what I favor more than others. Everything I've been picking have been locks made in here in the states. What I've come to realize; at least for me; the .023 to .025 thousandth picks seem to big in a lot of cases, even with master locks. I was able to get better pin control with the .015 thousandth Peterson's, but those have been to thin for some of the grittier and/or cheaper American made locks like master. I've switched to the .018 thousandth's as the thickest I've wanted to go with, and that seems to be giving me the best control as well as room to work with. But in some cases those habe been kinda thin, and for the 8 dollar cost of each pick, I don't want to be bowing them out because once they stretch, you can't try to bend it back into place without fatiging the steel and making them even more weak. In order to save the pick itself and to stop them from going into the trash, I started using a small peeking hammer, knocking the curve back out of the pick, and than hammering it down to a thinner pick. It works alright. I'm able to work harden the material a bit. You have any pointers, that can either help me work with the thicker .023 thousandth picks or a company who makes a higher grade .018 thousandth pick that can handle some of the Junkier American made locks? (I'm not talking about the actual company American Locks, just locks that are made here in the states).
Jack, Like you I initially tried to settle on a single thickness pick, and 0.018" was my choice too. After a while I realized that even 0.018" was sometimes too thick or too thin for certain locks. Ultimately, I found that a "thick" pick ranging from 0.022-0.026, and a "thin" measuring 0.015 was necessary. Lately, I've found an "ultra thin" pick measuring 0.013" is also useful in special locks.
I am sending a package from Maine. It is a different challenge then you usually do
Metal is a bummer, however the swooping appeal to the hooks especially the grabber hooks would be nice additions.
Such a shame they're made from butter.
WOW that metal looked soft! Now, I'm not known to get on my picks like a 200 pound gorilla, but with the way you squashed that pick like lukewarm butter there is no chance in hell it will last when those ASSA barrel spools grab hold of the countermilling!
301 comes in various grades, and a wide range of tempers. No surprise seeing different reaction to the cppper sulphate on what a vendor is calling 301, or a variety of bending characteristics on various vendor 301 stainless steels.
301 is just a generic term, like padlocks, you might have a bunch with the same physical outward appearance, one is master, another is an abus. We all know how that ends. =-)
You can get a case just like this one on Amazon for under 5$ it's listed as a punch tool roll
Would love to get a challenge from you to even see if i could get it open lol would probably take at least a month
Dag!! He had me SOLD up until the bendy testing. I was fixing to buy. 2 yes later.... Wonder how they doin....
I was surprised to see a pick set that didn't include ANY rakes.
G David my fiance bought me a set for 25$ canadian along with a lock that are better than these only thing it came with a lack of tensioners
That (almost) identical case is on Amazon for like $5. PeaceKeeper small punch roll or something.
Thank you posting another fantastic video, i do have one question though. From all the lock picking told you have ever used what in your mind is the all best hands down winner.
Again thank you for all your videos they are the best.
Hey Bill, do any pick manufacturers use higher grade stainless steel? Like M390, CPM-S30V, S110V, VG-10, etc.? I know these are super steels for knife blades. However, would it be as beneficial for pick steel?
No idea, perhaps a metallurgist in the crowd can chime in?
Too bad about that steel. Otherwise it would be a great kit. I do love that case and having 3 different pry bars.
Pickaholic you can get this exact case on Amazon for about $5, except it obviously doesn't have the logo on it. I coincidentally bought one the other day and it is amazing and is high quality and great! Here is the link if you want one

Blake Crews thanks man! Hard to pass that up. I appreciate the link.
Blake Crews Thanks for the link. So much for that $25/30 value, eh? It is a nice case. I might grab one for that price.
"I don't usually talk about cases". YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE CASES
TO ANYONE THAT JUST WANTS THIS EXACT CASE, HERE IS THE AMAZON LINK FOR IT (It's only $4.66): US PeaceKeeper P21111 Small Punch Roll for Armorer's Tools www.amazon.com/dp/B0044YGCA0?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I literally just bought this exact case (except it doesn't have the logo on it) on Amazon the other day for $4.66 with Amazon Prime to use for this exact reason. This company didn't make these cases. They probably just wholesale ordered them and then printed their logo on them. Just thought I would share, and share the link for anyone that wants one.
Also, I've already received it and it is extremely well made and high quality.
Could you post a video about how you hand finish your picks?

Wow, 😲🤤😨waaay tooo many RED flags for me !! $70 ! I feel its worth approx $29.99.
Great review! Cant believe those tin foil picks are $70!!
do they sell the case separately?
The case is available here for $5.99 from U.S. Peace Keeper www.uspeacekeeper.com/collections/bags-packs/products/small-punch-roll#
A shame on the steel quality...maybe Chinesium steel. The pick roll is cool, you don't see many pick rolls and this one has good features. 🍺😎✌

Shrink Tubing*
As a packaging equipment specialist I get offended when people use the words Shrink Tubing, Shrink Wrap, and Stretch Wrap incorrectly.
It's my right dammit!
That case appears to be identical to this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044YGCA0 just with different branding. I have a bunch of picks stuck in one of those and it works really well.
Looks like cheap copies of sparrows picks in crappy steel stuck in a case you can get for $5. Pass.
Cool, I was just going to post the same item. I have two of them. I keep my small drift-pin punches in one and some picks in the other... I found out about the roll-up from The Helpful Lockpicker... Very nice Savage, you beat me to the punch... Cheers...
This guy needs to go to the top. Don't forget to give him the thumbs up, so others can find the case for just $5
Haven't found a way to have it shipped outside the US, though :(
notice a pattern....the go-to comparison is always sparrows. best price for the best picks. peterson is good quality but not the best value. sparrows all the way!
LoL. It looks like the forgot the decimal point in their 301 cold rolled stainless steel claim. It looks like they should've meant 3.01 cold rolled.
i dont think this company is in business any more? if so can somebody hold me down with a website?
Sorry, that was tools not told!!
Good start with the nice case but went downhill with the picks :[
OH MY GOD!! They bend like tin foil. No good.
Damn...it lookes great....but i pass
Great video bill. First!! That is an awesome set, definitely an option for EDC.
No tensile strength? No thanks
I have a great idea for a feature for a challenge lock, but I have no skills or experience with such things. If any of you guy's or girls who like constructing challenges for Bill would like me to share my Idea, please PM me.
Le sigh. Another one that can't bite nearly as much as it barks. At least the case is nice...
Good review but i think they over exaggerated with their product so people will buy them.
Eew, I'd rather get a cheap spring steel set.
pessimo acciaio
OUCH!!!!
That is a disappointment for that price is awful false advertising.
They need to look into spring steel as well as proper advertising.
