    I’ve had one for 6 months now. The quality of the picks are exceptional. The size is smaller than the keys I have to carry for work and slightly smaller in all dimensions of the “Wave” leatherman tool that also lives in my pocket. Best to worst: The 2 picks are excellent and the learning curve with using them wasn’t terrible. Rakes were very similar to the ones I gravitate to anyway. Door bypass tools probably the most used tool I’ve used yet. Simple and well built. The expansion pack top of key way tension tools very clever design, excellent to use top or bottom of key way. Jigglers , just average quality, some seem pointless for me to have, slightly more flexible than I like. Wafer picks same excellent quality as the first picks never used them. Knife hard to use in this configuration Shim and lock decoder could be better steel Yale bypass tool, haven’t used Combs good quality managed to get caught in every lock I’ve tried using them in. Had to cut lock apart to get them out whole. Washers... not enough of them after 3 months in my pocket tools flop around Handle tools don’t lock at 90 deg or at 180 open leaving tools feeling too short to be very effective in most conditions. It would be nice if the offered “blanks” to make our own favorite and or custom picks. A dimple pick and a cam lock to keep tools from turning in your hand would also be nice.

    If you have complaints about the tools sitting loosely you can just tighten the screws on either side to make them stiffer

    It's compact, but I'm having a hard time picking with it due to the length of the picks and when i pick a lock (even with wave rake) the metal to finger pushing is really a pain, even afterwards my skin is red. No good way to hold them, even with the lockpicks tightened to the maximum. Would not recommend (at least for beginners), just get a pick set with longer picks and a good handle.

    You nee to rotate the picks further so you are holding the body like a pistol grip.

    For $100 you'd think they could at least have put it together and none of the picks in mine seem to work. The knife and combs didn't do anything with any locks that I tried. Looking at a see through clear plastic lock, the comb teeth seem to be too short to push the pins up far enough to clear the cylinder and the rakes can't even open a Master lock that opens easily with one from a cheap Chinese set! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!

    No offence, but I'd say your issues are mostly experience/skill related. Did you consider that if the combs were taller, they wouldn't be able to fit into a lot of keyways? From my understanding, they're mostly intended for smaller format padlock keyways. The rakes are a fairly standard design, and effective, it may just be they aren't very compatible with the master lock you have (based on spacing, steepness, peak heights, etc.) Unfortunate, but not all rakes are suitable for all locks and there's nothing you can do about that. Would be cool if they sold blanks, but you could make your own picks into SSF and attach them for relatively little effort.
