You are growing on me. Thank you for the honest advice on tools. I’m getting back into picking locks, never been very good at it. It’s a lot of fun to get an open.
The price you mentioned for this kit, $75 USD was exciting. I was going to buy it immediately. However, Barebones website lists this kit as $115.50 US dollars and as $175.95 Australian dollars. Less exciting.
Dangerfield certainly calls those piano wire wrenches a zed wrench. I've talked to him about them, because I think they're the most versatile plug wrench out there (should be part of every jackknife set IMO), and he's looking into making new and various versions of it. I discovered that if you shorten the one end it works very well as a classic TOK tool while the other end is a good classic BOK, because of the 90° axial rotation of the one end. Give the shortened TOK end a little twist ala Chris Capune and it becomes wonderfully ergonomic too. DMAC has made them for himself but uses bicycle spokes instead of piano wire, which works well, so I took that approach and made a few, one of which I keep with my Riv pick set so I can have both BOK and TOK with one wrench.
It’s Christmas and I’ve come across lock picking as a sport which surprisingly I’ve now spent 10 hours watching already. Really like the look of these. Will be on order. Let’s see if they do a Boxing Day sale! Thanks for your reviews.
Thanks for the list and explanation. I ordered the barebones earlier today. Have the CI Genesis, Echelon and arbiter sets, Sparrow, southord, and a set from amazon🤣 I think I'm covered!!
This appears to be nearly identical to the Praxis dual gague, same dual gague, both 301, exactly the same pick selection, mixture of wrenches including a wire z wrench. This one does have handles tho. Had the Dangerfield Praxis since it came out 2018, and it is still really good
Those scales are so pretty! Too bad Bare Bones only have two hooks in this set. Those gem hooks though... those look very nice! Any chance you can demonstrate them on your locks?
I ordered most of Bare Bones stuff too and I got an email from them listing the things I did not add to my basket, but they decided to give them to me anyway to complete the pick sets that I ordered. 😅 My package cleared today and i'm hoping it will be delivered to me tomorrow. I wanna make an unboxing video going over every Item I ordered. I really want to see how good these picks are, I heard so many good things about their unique deep hooks and "feral" turning tools (unique viper inserts)
Do you know what I hate, Sandman? I hate sounding like a broken record. But I can’t help it, this was yet again ANOTHER great review video. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the fact that the word ‘bones’ is in their name, but I dig those white handles. I also dig that you flashed the list of all of the lock pick manufacturers with the ones who use the highest quality steel and have great quality control highlighted. I didn’t realize just how many there are. But anyway, thanks for another great video review. I’m already looking forward to seeing what’s next.
We must’ve completely missed the entire portion where I said that they are not good. And that this case is better. But Thank you for the recommendation. I’ve already returned two of them back to Amazon. I don’t like them.
Thx for the show, was really entertaining! Shame on me, no Bare Bones at the moment, but maybe I Will get Some one fine day, coz' you can't imagine how much bad influence you have (Yes, got the CI, what's definiately your sin). So pretty please don't agitate to buy this or that, coz' I can't resist...😢

When you change the shipping address to the US it does drop a little bit further to $105.00 USD. But the shipping goes up to $19.75.

My bones is on da plane boss! Headed this way from down under!
That's a cool looking set, and the price is right too!
Thank you for yet again another great video and Bare Bones will be getting my money in the near future because of it.

I got their gem set and the dimple set. I loved the profiles, the steel is top notch, but i found that i neededbto finish them myself.
I like the profiles. I’m just a new guy but I like the slick steel on the covert brand. how much easier is it with the plastic grips? 🎉
18:33 3mm 🤣 btw: it's double sided tape
I have the advanced lock pick set but the case it came in I’m not a fan of . Everything falls out so I moved them to my Moki case
Build out a maxpedition kit / EDC kit with picks. You would get a lot of views. Big crossover oppty.

I didn't mean maxpedition necessarily / any pouch that you would prefer, there are so many.

Yes I pick with bones, yes I’m from down under and our money is called the Australian Dollar 😂
