Actually, good for Make and TOOOL for supplying this lovely set of picks! Lock picking in the hands of a responsible person is both fun and useful! However shame on them for calling it the "wave" rake!! It is actually called the "Bogota" in reference to the Colombian mountain ranges with there sharp peaks and sweeping valleys. It was created by Raimundo and is an incredible pic design! this is a nice set.

Be careful who uses these

I got this set as a gift for my daughter a couple of years ago. She had seen me play fallout 3 and wanted to try picking in real life. I have a couple of broken lock boxes due to little spring steel pieces breaking off in them. I place the blame more on my daughters strength than the picks. It might be my fault for buying them for a middle scholar. The handles are a plus as others I have seen have very flimsy plastic.

I've bought multiple sets of these to give to the nieces & nephews on their birthdays, etc. They are a very decent starter set and work well at opening locks.

Locksport fun for all!

Locksport is very popular in Europe and is essentially approaching lock picking as a puzzle to be figured out. Before I bought my college kids these (elsewhere), I checked with my attorney who said there had to be proven criminal intent if one were "caught" with these. Kids participating in Locksport ought not to have any criminal intent if they are not breaking into anything. Competition locks are not attached to doors! These are lots of fun for the whole family. Even the elementary school-age relatives visiting at Christmas had a great time playing around with these.
