These are strictly padlocks with more variety as I begin to release the entire guide. Once you have successfully completed the No. 5 locks we will start moving into more unique locks that may be harder to come by but offer a significant increase in knowledge and skill progression.
****Note: This is truly for beginners and the next phase of difficulties include different pick sizes, lock types and everything in between.

.25 and 0.25 are the same number
Apparently you can unlock a cardboard box with a city rake
Like the video. Trying to learn. FYI, the lighting was bad in the video. Too dark.
I just bought this tonight – thank you so much for the inspiration and the guidance!
I just ordered this at first I order a Chinese set of picks on Amazon and after researching i immediately canceled my order on Amazon and went with this set including the cut away lock
Those Sparrows cutaway locks are kind of luck-of-the-draw. I have one that over-sets so quickly and subtly that that I've never gotten an open with the Kick Start picks (it needs a deeper hook). Something in between that cutaway and those cheap acrylic cutaways may be better for beginners. The Kick Start makes for a decent EDC starting point.
Double sided tensioners take too much space. I usually just cut one side off, wish they could rather give two or only have them one sided, also the way they fold it 90 degrees to dampen feedback is questionable
👍
Quite like the look of the challenge lock——- keep up the great posts
Great set!! Keep us updated on how you like them
I was looking at those today thinking about a giveaway at some point. I love there progressive practice locks. I got those and the reload kit. And that's how I learned to pick locks with security pins. Love the Sherman case to. I've got several of there picks. But I've come to love Peterson picks better because of the handles and there made out of a little bit better metal. I find that I can get sparrows picks in tight key ways where the same thickness in .25 Peterson picks I can't. It makes a big difference picking with well made picks. Keep up the good work.
Very nice job my friend.
Great review of this Sparrows starter set my friend and, a much better practice lock from them too, when you can swap out pins as learn to pick more, than on those cheap acrylic Chinese ones – that often only need a pin or two, to set and open them. Would be nice as well, though it would cost a bit more, if Sparrows just made a full starters kit and, included a top of the keyway tensioning set (TOK), along with the bottom of the keyway tensioners (BOK). Still, a nice set to be getting on with and, thanks for another fantastic video my friend 😎👏👏👏
Ps Couldn't reply to your last message to our channel, as YouTube shows you responded, but hasn't loaded your comment on our page, so we can respond to it for some reason? 😕 Sorry, but wanted to let you know, so you didn't think we were ignoring you mate ☺👍
Very cool my friend😊👍😊😎🇬🇧
Very cool set my friend and i personaly like the cutaway and the tranceparent one i don't want one over the other
One major issue with the clear acrylic padlock is the keypins ste too tall and often sit at the shearline coupled with the use of keypins as driver pins makes it really easy to open.
You can make it a better lock to learn on you changed the pins out
Thanks for sharing!
Forgot to ask which lock you got, the straight pins, spools or the serrated pins? Also yes it does make a big difference with a quality pick set versus the cheapy ones online from overseas, no doubt, got mine from UK Bump keys & they made a big difference.
I have three of the cut away Sparrow locks with security pins plus the Revolver. I am going to rekey the cutaways and make them stand pin progressives. I have learned bad picking habits l want to change that and l think these four locks will help starting with the standard pin progressive locks and working up to the Revolver with progressive security pins. Good video 👍
That's some really good tools to start out with. Some top of keyway wrenches would have went well with those B.O.K.
If you really want to help beginners then I think showing them exactly what a shear line is would be the best way to show them why your picking in a sequence. Just draw it on a piece of paper if nothing else in a straight line with the offset circles for the key pins & the drivers. It's just a thought that would help out beginners.
😁👍
Great bunch of goodies. I need real training locks too. My first set was the Sparrows Tuxedo then the EOD.🍺✌😎
