There must be a positive side to be seen...
@@crowley357 they make the other credit card pick sets look better? 😂
The sticky backing.
Thanks for the review. It's kind of sad to see any prejudice confirmed, but on the other hand: It is, what it is. No use in a
sugar-coating it.
If i was to do a selection for a card like this, i'd certainly look at some well-established profiles. I do like the handcuff thingy though: It probably doesn't open many cuffs, but in a pinch it would be ok. But that's about the only positive thing i can come up with.
I think the file included on the second set would have been semi useful to smooth up the rough edges on some of those rakes and made picking easier 🙌
On a positive note, those items do live up to the manufacturer's name: They really are grim.
Thanks for the cautionary review, Ash. 🙂👍
No worries!
They look like cartoon versions of lockpicks.
You know its bad when it doesnt even open a Master lock
This
I bought some of these off of a buddy early in my picking-I thought for sure the problems I had using them were due to being a new picker. You make me feel better about not getting them working-though a little worse for spending my money on them!!
Sorry! Yeah these are very hard to use
Obviously they paid you for that glowing review, 😆
How else can afford this yacht?!?
@@LockNoob 🤣
A year later and they seem to have improved their products a little. On their product page the shaft for the pick seems a lot sturdier, but hard to tell without it in my hands... and I'm too cheap to buy one to find out.
Remember your 1st buddy to get a 3d printer when they were new? Yeaaaah....that TOOTALLY looks like a lock pick....🤦♀🤣🤣🤣
Good to know what to avoid! Thanks for the heads up.
That last pick that's too thin would have been better to have been made into a key extractor or something.
Thanks
Welcome
Grim have just done new sets through Kickstarter which look a little better but I suspect will suffer from the same issues around being too thin
I have to commend your honesty.
This really looks low end indeed.
Thanks and yeah…. Not great
Honestly i dont think people realy care about these pick sets anymore.
It is just so much easier to make a pick on the fly
Those look pretty cool. Thanks for sharing
That’s about their limit. They look cool
kind of curious now, if that first set would even open those clear plastic practice locks
No, not that i would know. A friend of a friend.
Honestly, for the level of quality there I think you wasted your time looking at them so long 😅 As for tension tools, myself, it's too easy to not just make my own. I learned how to make one fit a lock just right for me.
I think tbh you’re right
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍 now i know for sure that I do not want to spend money on buying them. thanks for an honest review 🙂🙏🙂
No worries
As for the first card pick, just because you can, doesn't mean you should...
Tool looks to be etched. Water jets normaly aren't able to cut half way. They can mark but the marking depths varies a lot.
Ah thanks!
@@LockNoob you are welcoem :)
Fun items, thanks for sharing
Thanks 😊
Wow looks like a honest review to me ..😎
Yeah, sadly just not a positive one
These didn't look good but I checked the picks from sparrow you mentioned. Much better
First set of picks I got was in a credit card. Used them once forgot they are in my wallet. 🤔🗝️🔐
thanks mate, saved me from testing it myself, i was hoping it would work, keep up the good work.
Supposedly for first set you have to sand em smooth.
I saw these online before discovering this video. First thing I thought was "Lockpicks made by somebody who's never seen a lockpick". Glad I didn't buy them, bought your chaos card from sparrows actually.
You can tell just by looking at them that the dimensions are WAY off. It's like someone who has never picked locks saw a picture once and drew them from memory to make these.
I keep a few hairpins in my jacket pocket so that if I need picks and don't have any, I can improvise some. I'd do that long before I'd use something like this.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 that is a great idea. Stuff like that is indispensable during certain situations!
Love your honest and detailed review, just what we've come to expect from your reviews : )
I think I would rather use the Chinese credit card set that's much cheaper. maybe even just buy a cheap H&H jacknife.
My H&H jackknife is one of my favorite sets. But I have to admit I changed a couple of the picks to my personal preferences.
Looking at the pictures on their website, I do think the one set had an issue with how the hook got cut out. Either way I wouldn’t trust these 2 sets in any situation.
It was so floppy. I’ve never seen a hook like it 😂
Brutal...they must never have tried to use them???
I wonder why they didn't just copy a working profile such as a Peterson hook #1 and some wave rake. Pickers don't need much more than 1-2 good hooks and a wave rake. For a tension tool, just give us a 3mm flat strip of metal that we can bend ourselves the way we need it...
its a credit card lock picking set, I always saw all of their cards as gimmicks, and to be used in true true emergencies. all their survival ones look cool but they have 9 different signature ones and they all are pretty much the same thing. I cant see how all the people in the comments were legitimately looking at these as to perform as fixed sets.
It they should at least perform. The first generation card barely worked on anything
Does anyone have a recommendation for a first set of picking tools? (Trying not to get ripped off or buy wrong) 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Stick to the main lock picking /locksmith tool manufacturers, and you can’t go too wrong. Unless budget is a factor, try to avoid generic Chinese brands (though there are exceptions)
Get sparrows tools they are great or covert instruments
Fantastic 👍🏻
Lock noob, can you review the updated model please. I think it looks promising
Thanks for the review, i still think all of these credit card things are a bit weird 🤷
Fun though, and sometimes effective
You are too nice reviewing an item that is clearly sub par
Should've plugged LPL's covert companion 😄
I bought one. Review coming soon
Yikes! About all I can say! I know its tough for you to not be able to find some bright spots in products.. grim indeed!
I like to find good things to say about all the things he I review, but when something doesn’t work, it doesn’t work
Guarantee you could use that 1st hook on some locks. If you shortened it up it would work on the master. You could probably modify a couple others to work too...about the second hook I make alot of my picks very small because I like bottom keyway. I use wiper inserts and I barely bend them, they must be close to the size of that 2nd hook. But they must have used shit steel
Great video ash my friend and a good honest review👍🇬🇧😎👊😊
Don't they test it out before selling it
I thought that the plastic card was a elastic band gun at first
Nice review - pity that the tools didn't work that well
Cheers keith
Sorry you paid for these, would have been better off using the money to take the wife out 🍻
Well that would have been better
Sorry, but that all looks pretty grim to me - bearing in mind that they were in the hands of an expert.
$20 is not cheap.
The 'no touch' card is a con and in my eyes anti-science! I could go on a rant, but I won't bother.
Fabulous picking as per usual. All the very best to you and yours 👍 👍 👍 🍻
$20 is comparatively cheap for a branded credit card pick set. It’s not cheap if you are paying for a product that doesn’t with though so I’ll give you that
Got suckered into other grim products.... results were....grim
For US knob locks the card might be OK but if you already know how it's done, you already have a better tool in your wallet for in-swing doors and a pocket knife for out-swing doors.
Something like this could be done well, but you'll always have too short of a handle to work with which makes it hard for those with experience and near-impossible for those without experience. Fill that wallet space with a real credit card and you'll go a lot further!
Thank you for the review.
Definitely know what not to buy now.
The first set looks like something they made up for lock picking in a Hollywood movie. Maybe made for some funky Chinese made lock?
It’s not really that difficult to find actual lock pickers and get their input into designing some usable tools. I’m sure they would do well by using some quality 301 stainless steel first. Then get some basic pick designs that can work. The way those things are, they aren’t really usable. It seems like they are just scamming people who don’t know any better out of their money.
thanks for this one ! cheers
It's got the right name...Grim
Pure rubbish and waste of money in my humble opinion! 😉
With a few tweaks and some better steel, they could be so much better
too much tension
do they ship them to india
thank you for... the cool content... would you mabe think of to do one on one you would actually use or spend your money on to buy
.. because of A... B... C.. ext again greeting from South Africa
The best credit card sets are probably the Wendt, Sparrows and OFC sets (but for disclosure I helped design some of the sparrows and Wendt ones)
Better off with hair pins 😬
Lol
Do you have a link to the ones you help create which I would assume you recommend over both of these?
Search sparrows lock picks
Don't complain about your nails. Im sure your nail scrappings would make a better pick
After seeing this, I won't buy anything from grim workshop now.
Why are you demonstrating junk?
NOT ONE of those picks was a normal profile, they were all useless things they invented that look like they were made by someone that never picked a lock before and was guessing what a lockpick should look like.
The one good thing was the sticky backing so you can replace the picks into the card again. I wish my lock master card had that feature.
I knew what that button push was at first glance, but was amazed that you could use it as a door latch bypass. Now I know in a pinch I could make one out of a used gift card.
I always like to give everything a fair shot. I wouldn’t want someone to think I’m being unfair on a product just because of personal reasons or whatever.
Cool
Sir I want this kit
Am working in bank locker making technician in india
Looks like a cheap copy to me! Counterfeit...
Sup
Did you not already review this piece of junk?
Not quite, but I did review some of their other lock pick stuff ua-cam.com/video/Es4nZbDTDFg/v-deo.html
One off the worst products I’ve see seen you review hahaha
bad ^^
A great and honest review as always. Thanks for sharing Ash and have a great week mate.
