last week I had never seen a lock be picked. now today, with probably twenty hours of BosnianBill videos logged, I find myself waiting impatiently for my pick set in the mail anticipating your next video. damn good job sir, a true professional
@@guiorgy maybe he was already in jail and was waiting impatiently for his lock picks (cleverly packaged) so he could escape. Now thanks to Bill he is on the run and doesn't risk logging into his old online accounts in case they are being monitored.
Looks fantastic, you literally got my into lock picking, now it's my one and only hobby because I dedicate myself to it fully. Thank you for the great content!
:O Bill, you are a true saint. I love how generous you are. I've never seen a RUclips channel that does so many giveaways. The products / locks you send out are always super quality, and you really took the time to think about this set and improve it for your viewers. That extra thought really showed me that you have a good heart and want other people to enjoy the craft. Thank you for being such a kind, caring person. It's rare these days.
I've had one of these for 2 years. Added a Peterson Gem, Deforest hook and got spare Bogota rakes and standard picks. It is all I use now even though I have Sparrows and homemade picks, these GSP are epic. Great video as always ;)
Since I found your channel, I haven't looked at locks the same again. You've literally opened a world to me that I'd never thought of or considered before. Still looking to get my first pick kit but in the mean time I'll keep learning from you and your videos.
So, I received this set of picks today, having never picked a lock before. I have 3 padlocks that I've never had a key for, and in about 20 minutes I used the Peterson reach pick and opened the first lock. The single pick method wasn't working on the second one, so I raked it open using the purple handled rake, then opened the 3rd lock by the same raking method. I'm hooked!
New to picking, about 2 months in, and loving it. got the sparrows progressive locks and reload kit after seeing your reviews. working with some no-name picks and contemplating my next purchase. between the Praxis and vorax kits now, but the ghost may be an option too. thanks for the info, keep it coming.
Thanks for all the information that you share. Have a story to tell ( last week my family and I were on vacation and my wife locked the keys in our car, we were swimming at a state park, so I had no phone, wallet, or anything. I keep in mind what you always say about think outside the box and there is always more than one way into a lock I used a string out of a swimming trunks and a piece of wire slide the string through the seal around the door and the wire right behind it before long ( about 2 min) I had the door open). My wife said you got into that really quick. Kind of scary. Thanks again.
You REALLY have the best give aways, top notch Mr.Bill. I really appreciate you knowledge and, reviews, information when it comes to locks on quipment. thank you very much
the rubber picks do have a full tang. on the plastic handles picks, the pick only extends about a 1/16 inch passed the hole. so there is about only about 3/4inch total metal in the handle Peterson also offers a hooked diamond in . 018
Bill I have learned how to pick many different locks just from watching your videos and I just wanted to let you know one day I'm coming for you get ready for the indestructible challenge lock "apocalypse"
Hello everyone, I've been using a Peterson Ghost Lock Pick Set for about a month now, and I'm really enjoying it. I recently watched the review of this set and became interested in adding the tools mentioned in the video. However, I'm struggling a bit with identifying the exact names of the picks discussed. If anyone could help by providing a written list of the tools mentioned, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your insights and assistance!
Pickpals is fantastic!!! Didn't think it would be cheaper to get stuff from here sent all the way to the states though compared to direct from Peterson.. WOW! Thanks for the video Bill, I've been on the fence about this set, might give it a crack :)
Extremely grateful for all the info. This community is very welcoming to newbies. Appreciate that a lot :) Got a tuxedo kit coming! Can't wait. Got an ammo box I'm trying to open up eventually lol
Nice set, nice review, and even nicer after you threw in the additional picks. Makes sense. I wouldn't be able to afford that set without running into trouble with my finance minister, so I'm crossing fingers that I might be picked (as the lucky winner) . ;)
How are you Bill? First let me say I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. As much as I hate to have to say that, you are probably; although appreciative no doubt, tired of hearing it even more so we'll "squash" that. My name is Jason by the way & I've probably been following your channel for goin on 10 yrs. I'll say it's really a damn shame to see you go but if you must, you're definitely do'n it for the best of reasons. Family is LIFE man. Unfortunately we've only got one shot at this & whether we like it or not;🤷♂️none of us are get'n out of it alive. So the sooner we all get busy smash'n it the more FULL it's gonna feel when it is over w/. Also in case you were wondering, the "cred" for me, & I can only imagine how many other followers reaching out to you is all thanks to your buddy•the lock pick lawyer•who also makes some killer videos I might add, for spread'n the word. I'm sure you've seen the video he put out mentioning it. He really looks up to you man. You can tell he really appreciates & respects you. Those kind of PALS are a dying breed & it's really a bummer. That being said, if you won't "boast" on the subject I'll just say you've made a hell of an impact/impression on alot of people. Now, I'll leave it at that😂& piss off to the lock stuff... I was truly tring to make this comment as short as I could but I started ramble'n off & didn't realize it. I can only imagine that after 14 yrs. on the TUBE,😉I'm sure you're inevitably getting a little tired of reading comments as well.👌A little "ego stroke'n" never hurt anybody though. I just wanted to sincerely thank you on a personal level for the brain food about (& this is only for lack of a more deserving word/term at the moment) your EXTENSIVE knowledge of everything that is locks... My old man was actually the lock & door guy for the school corporation in my state so "by proxy" no matter how hard he tried not to bore me by jamming his proffesion down my throat we caught ourselves sitting around the garage, gun room, kitchen, tail gate, anywhere there was room for tools/lock stuffs' & tinkering away. I was hooked immediately! I'll go ahead & stroke my own ego just a bit, I've really put a whole lot of time & patience into it & I've gotten pretty damn good. Well rounded if nothing else, but nowhere near the beast that my Dad is. & it's certainly not from lack of trying,🙏but neither of us hold a candle to you. So I'll wrap this up w/ one last THANK YOU, you've been a huge inspiration to me & so many others & we are grateful for all the time & effort you devoted to your channel & more importantly, the 150% that you always took away from you & yours to give to your fans & followers!

Thanx for all the years. May the wind always be at your back, & the sun always shining.🤙
@Bill, the purple button on the site still points to your previous giveaway, the new Sparrows "Chess & Checkers" pins and the Banggood stuff. Great set, by the way. I just bought a set of 16 DOM half Eurocilinders, all keyed differently but to the same master key. _Interesting_ keyway, to say the least. Can't quite get in there, even with Sparrows' SSDevs. Maybe those 15/1000s would do it.
how do these compare the the mastering the lock set you did a review for, still waiting on those coming in the mail! Cant wait to give lock picking a shot you have sparked my interest
i love your reviews bill, they're very informative. im a novice compared to you but i wondered after you did the sparrows check pins what would picking a lock be like if you had those check pins in the lock as well as magnetized key pins and maybe a small magnet on the bottom of the cylinder? is it even possible to make a lock like that?
I think the locksmith they show is speaking in cloaked sarcasm when he says "I wouldn't even try to pick this" or some such. He's probably thinking "because a screwdriver opens these without the need."
Hi, I'm looking to buy my first starter set of quality picks and considering Peterson and Sparrows (with coated handles), I'm 70 with some arthritis and want to have the most comfortable grip. Can you advise?
Hey Bosnianbill great tutorials, all the videos i have watched are extremely helpful. I'm a 2nd yr firefighter and would like to add a edc kit to my arsenal of tools i carry when responding. I'm considering this set now or the Vorax by Sparrows and a few other tools. The ( D.D.T, garage door hook and the UDT) you have done tutorials on for our dept to purchase and keep on our rigs along side our elevator keys and forced entry tools :) . I have the military mindset, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Thanks for all the help and insight , keep at it good Sir.
I've never been into lock picking.. but I can tell you paying 85$ for a few pieces of metal doesn't make me want to start picking either. I was waiting for a 15$ price tag and for me to then tell myself "Man I should try getting started".. not after hearing that price tag. I'll just go find zip ties and learn to pick master locks with them from here on out.
ComicallyBad these are "pro" picks, can find some decent sets, with 25 picks or so for about the same price. $25-40. With some modification at home they can perform pretty good. Rounding off sharp edges, clean up handles, etc.
ComicallyBad my first "picks" after the old paper clips phase, which I still use in a pinch, were made out of old metal waste I could scrounge. Old hacksaw blades, rusted tweezers, finishing nails... anything that I could grind down to make picks that I could trash should the need arise. I learned with those so when I bought a starter set, for around $8, I was in heaven. Many years down the road now I still can't justify the pro prices, but there are a ton of sets out there that are worth every dime. If you're learning, maybe make yourself a free set if you can. If you enjoy it you can always upgrade later. Bill is even kind enough to score discounts for you on his sight. You don't need a grand master set if you're still learning masterlocks.
If you are looking for a beginner kit i would look at the southord PXS 14. I started with that kit along with a lot of other people i know. It has 9 picks, 1 broken key remover, 4 tensioners and a nice zipper case. The picks withstand a ton of abuse while you are learning and are probably heavy handed at first. Best thing is you can get the set for between $20-30 depending on where and any sales.
Should I get this one or the Multipick Elite 17? Only a few dollars difference on pickpals, and the Multipick comes with the diamond hook included. It's $19US on pickpals in Peterson.
Hugh Fristoe as always, depends on what you're doing. I sometimes find myself picking in the cold, hazard of living in MN, so I favor the molded handles. I still think you get better feedback on the metal, but maybe that's just me.
This is super helpful. I loved the Multipick set when he reviewed it a couple of months ago, but I waited to see if I won! Lol. I think it's time to pull the trigger. We see some cold in Texas (panhandle), but it's the biting wind that's the worst. I'd trade cold comfort for better feedback.
I'm not too crazy about this particular Peterson set. I'd like to have the .018 Bogy for sure, as well as the top of keyway tension wrench. City Rakes are ok, but I can bitch pick with a snake rake and get the same results as rocking a City Rake.
Man, Ive always wanted Peterson picks, the make so many hooks.. I would love to get the Happy Hooker kit but they are sooo expensive.. I know you pay for quality but being in Canada and our crappy exchange rate I dont think Ill ever get to try Peterson products unless I win the lottery or come into a decent amount of money, or if I win them lol :P either way, great review! thanks for sharing Bill..
Hi, ergonomically speaking, how would compare those Peterson plastic handles versus Sparrows Dark Shift thin steel handles (that you reviewed earlier in your video number 964) ? Thank you!
Sure, but first I have some questions for you. What is the most attractive color? Which car is the nicest? In terms of guitars, is acoustic or electric better? In golf equipment, steel or graphite? My point is there is no right answer for these (or your) question(s). It comes down to personal preference and opinion. Try both then you decide what YOU like.
@@bosnianbill Ergonomics are mostly a matter of science (medicine, engineering...) and rarely a matter of taste. I guess you don't want to favour one or the other brand.
@@mikem8145 On the contrary, ergonomics is the refinement of a product's design so it can be used comfortably over an extended period of time. In the case of picks, they are designed to fit the human hand - which has wide variations in size and shape. There is no way to answer your question without at least half of the human race disagreeing with my conclusion. The ONLY way to determine if you like the shape of a pick handle is to HOLD it in the hand that will be USING it. I have no brand preferences and have a wide variety of picks on my workbench. I WILL say that I do not prefer dealing with Peterson, as I believe they are dishonest and take advantage of their customers, but YOU should not make your decision based on my opinion. Try several different brands to see what feels good to YOU. You may find that Peterson is the cat's meow to you and nothing else feels half as good. Or not.

How did your lock picking efforts go?
@@jacobpaint maybe he locked himself in and broke those picks while trying to get out, and that's why there is no answer?

great video's bill. I watch way more of your videos than any others on RUclips. love the challenge of picking locks keeps me busy for hours
I ordered the PS-14 like 10 minutes ago because of Bill :) thanks for my new obsession lol ;)
I bought a cheap chinesium set for my first practice kit. Watching stuff like this makes me super envious.
New to picking, about 2 months in, and loving it. got the sparrows progressive locks and reload kit after seeing your reviews. working with some no-name picks and contemplating my next purchase. between the Praxis and vorax kits now, but the ghost may be an option too. thanks for the info, keep it coming.

You the man ! Bill , thanks for all the gifts and knowledge you share !

Hello everyone,
I've been using a Peterson Ghost Lock Pick Set for about a month now, and I'm really enjoying it. I recently watched the review of this set and became interested in adding the tools mentioned in the video.
However, I'm struggling a bit with identifying the exact names of the picks discussed. If anyone could help by providing a written list of the tools mentioned, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all so much for your insights and assistance!
Looks like everything for pin tumblers you need in that kit!
This was the first set i got when i got into locking from watching your videos have a great retirement !!
You are the lock picker that got me in to lock picking
Great review. Very tempted to buy this as my first lockpick kit. I've been trolling for quite some time and may get started with this kit.
Ricky Mcgrath Get it.I carry it daily.Good set.
Nice set of picks. I really like the Peterson's hard plastic Handles. Great review and give away. 👏
If work wasn't so slow, I'd buy this kit plus the extras. Love to have a legit kit. The DD is my fav!
It looks fabulous! Someone tell my brother before my birthday!!
I'm glad I haven't won anything yet because this is the One!!
Pickpals is fantastic!!! Didn't think it would be cheaper to get stuff from here sent all the way to the states though compared to direct from Peterson.. WOW!
Thanks for the video Bill, I've been on the fence about this set, might give it a crack :)
I'd toss a buffing wheel on my grinder and chalk polish/round them a bit. These definitely beat my old bump key and DIY windshield wiper lock picks.
Thank you for all the reviews!
Extremely grateful for all the info. This community is very welcoming to newbies. Appreciate that a lot :)
Got a tuxedo kit coming! Can't wait.
Got an ammo box I'm trying to open up eventually lol
nice review.
significant price difference...
but what's the total price margin,
after considering adding the shipping charges ?
Nice set, nice review, and even nicer after you threw in the additional picks. Makes sense. I wouldn't be able to afford that set without running into trouble with my finance minister, so I'm crossing fingers that I might be picked (as the lucky winner) . ;)

That is just awesome. I need to acquire that same kit with bills add ons
So Peterson's naming convention is like going to a Starbucks and trying to order a large black coffee..
love your videos Bill really interesting to watch. I checked your previous videos and couldn't find if you have done any 5 lever deadlocks?
Super super sweet set!!! good luck everyone!!!
i love your reviews bill, they're very informative. im a novice compared to you but i wondered after you did the sparrows check pins what would picking a lock be like if you had those check pins in the lock as well as magnetized key pins and maybe a small magnet on the bottom of the cylinder? is it even possible to make a lock like that?
No idea, why don't you give it a try?
I think I need to upgrade my little beginners pick set (that little Southord kit from Pick Pals). What I have is ok, but a little limiting at times.
As a sharpener . 10k grit is overkill right? But why not mirror polish it when you can 😜
Nice set, nice upgrade for my current entry level set
The ad for Kwikset's new lock where they show locksmiths that can't pick it is pretty funny.
That ad plays for all Bill's videos now. Bad idea!!!
I think the locksmith they show is speaking in cloaked sarcasm when he says "I wouldn't even try to pick this" or some such. He's probably thinking "because a screwdriver opens these without the need."
Ha! Funny! Love it.
in the point where there is the mold at the base of the steel the steel is very fine and risks breaking. is it still adopted today? Hello
Hi, I'm looking to buy my first starter set of quality picks and considering Peterson and Sparrows (with coated handles), I'm 70 with some arthritis and want to have the most comfortable grip. Can you advise?
Hey Bosnianbill great tutorials, all the videos i have watched are extremely helpful. I'm a 2nd yr firefighter and would like to add a edc kit to my arsenal of tools i carry when responding. I'm considering this set now or the Vorax by Sparrows and a few other tools. The ( D.D.T, garage door hook and the UDT) you have done tutorials on for our dept to purchase and keep on our rigs along side our elevator keys and forced entry tools :) . I have the military mindset, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Thanks for all the help and insight , keep at it good Sir.
*Interesting set.*
*If you're working mostly on Euro locks you nee a blue or purple handle?*
I've been wanting to try peterson
just got into picking these look nice i like your content a lot keep it up
still working on getting picks to pick with. Have a cheap ebay set, but nothing decent yet, would love to win this.
great video review !!!
Very nice Bill!
I asked my Wife to get me the Eagles nest GSP for Christmas. At 84$ do you think they are worth the price?(Great review!)
Another Great Video Bill!
love the videos keep up the good work

That's what you call a cracking set...

I really like the kit, would be great to pick with

Hugh Fristoe I'm from GA originally, I would trade my next born child to avoid ever feeling -5° F on my skin again.
Thanks for the video's! I'm now looking at competitions
I'm not too crazy about this particular Peterson set. I'd like to have the .018 Bogy for sure, as well as the top of keyway tension wrench. City Rakes are ok, but I can bitch pick with a snake rake and get the same results as rocking a City Rake.
Man, Ive always wanted Peterson picks, the make so many hooks.. I would love to get the Happy Hooker kit but they are sooo expensive.. I know you pay for quality but being in Canada and our crappy exchange rate I dont think Ill ever get to try Peterson products unless I win the lottery or come into a decent amount of money, or if I win them lol :P either way, great review! thanks for sharing Bill..
Wanted to learn lock picking after watching dexter
Manish John Hahaha Dexter sometimes uses a tension tool sometimes he just uses a pick. He tends to rake locks and very quickly.
keep up the awesome reviews!
Really nice picking set !
Il would love to try it out :-)
Thanks for the great content. Looks like a nice starter kit.
Looks like a nice set!
Is the medium hook a reach or is it the gem?
Great review, thanks
Black .025 looks like a Bogie 1 & the purple .018 a bogie 2 , Personally i use a .018 bogie 1 & a .025 C7 :]
nice kit apart from the bag.
Good stuff as always!
They make the deforest diamond in .18 as well.
This or the breacher set?
Thanks Bill
WOW NICE KIT
Hi, ergonomically speaking, how would compare those Peterson plastic handles versus Sparrows Dark Shift thin steel handles (that you reviewed earlier in your video number 964) ? Thank you!
Sure, but first I have some questions for you. What is the most attractive color? Which car is the nicest? In terms of guitars, is acoustic or electric better? In golf equipment, steel or graphite? My point is there is no right answer for these (or your) question(s). It comes down to personal preference and opinion. Try both then you decide what YOU like.
@@bosnianbill Ergonomics are mostly a matter of science (medicine, engineering...) and rarely a matter of taste. I guess you don't want to favour one or the other brand.
@@mikem8145 On the contrary, ergonomics is the refinement of a product's design so it can be used comfortably over an extended period of time. In the case of picks, they are designed to fit the human hand - which has wide variations in size and shape. There is no way to answer your question without at least half of the human race disagreeing with my conclusion. The ONLY way to determine if you like the shape of a pick handle is to HOLD it in the hand that will be USING it. I have no brand preferences and have a wide variety of picks on my workbench. I WILL say that I do not prefer dealing with Peterson, as I believe they are dishonest and take advantage of their customers, but YOU should not make your decision based on my opinion. Try several different brands to see what feels good to YOU. You may find that Peterson is the cat's meow to you and nothing else feels half as good. Or not.
anyone know what kind of sandpaper you need for picks?
Damn what a set....good luck guys,someone will be really happy,cheers from Croatia (stay safe/legal lol)
