    Wouldn't you know. I'm pretty much the SCHNEIDER(google him younguns) for the building I live in and some other properties the landlord owns. Cuts down rent big time!
    Anyway, the people upstairs were tossed and I had to change the lock. So I have my first lock to practice on.

    HPC picks were the best I ever used when I was a full time locksmith.
    Just make sure you're actually allowed to own or carry them first though. Some states or counties will give you a hard time if you aren't licensed as a locksmith.

    Received my Bogotas from ITS Tactical on Thursday. I haven't purchased any practice locks yet but figured out how to easily open a stackon type handgun safe and a storage unit padlock. Surprised how easy those opened.

    It takes continuous practice to stay sharp at it. I try to open my front door two-three times a week with the pickset, and always use picks on padlocks I have to open(all with permission of course).

    I have a friend who has an older version of that thing and has been looking for another one for years.
    Ordering him a couple and one for myself. He's going to be happy as hell.

    I just made one yesterday. Tried it on my door works like a charm. Im going to pick up the set from sparrows this week.
    Btw, buying from sparrows is like getting everything for 25% off with the crappy exchange rate.

    I was watching a BosnianBill video the other day, and he read a comment from someone who ordered from uslockpicking and neither one has recieved their order.
    Said he has been waiting over a month.
    He advised everyone not to order from there
