Adding keys to the kit

Church key.

I'm going to crack open a beer watching ya'll try getting into places you shouldn't.

I've collected and used most of these over the years, and a bunch more in my shop, plus a few here and there in the house.
Can never have enough!

But frankly, I'm not packing them anywhere.

Quite a while ago, I worked briefly with a guy that claimed to have a garage door opener that could open anyone's door he was near. I saw it but did not see it work. Supposedly, you just pushes a button and it started working through all the signals combinations till the door eventually opened. He said he got it from a mail order catalog selling skeleton keys, lock pick stuff, police badges, knives, Black jacks, handcuffs, and a ton of other stuff. I did see that catalog.
I was sorry to hear that! Disappointed it is available to anyone. Tried to avoid him as much as possible from then on. I never liked him before, even less now.
There was a good side, I saw it as another vindication for my concealed carry life style.

And that's why garage doors get locked/have a kill switch. Good reminder. People have the same kind of tools to unlock cars if your keys are within a certain vicinity.

Are you currently using this? I picked up a set from them including the practice lock. Further research shows you can get the same items for less. I am not knocking this post I think it is under rated. One, it is an adult fidget spinner and to it's a crazy useful tool. I was showing a friend who thought it was all a gimmick until I took a random Master Lock out of my tool box and popped it in 30 seconds and then put it back together. "Post apocalyptic?" You could pop the lock on someone shed, take what you need, put the lock back on and be about your day unnoticed. Real world scenario? Idk I am not a thief but do get good James Bond vibes anytime I pop a lock.

No, Mr officer, sir, I'm definitely NOT using these lock picks for anything other than hobbyist lock picking

in all seriousness, yes, you can get these for cheaper, but the ones I sent are specifically from LockPickingLawer's company. He's someone who I trust makes and sells quality products, and he's someone who I think deserves the money more than knockoff Chinese distributors.

I bought these and they arrived last week. I borrowed my daughter's trainer padlock and had it open in a few minutes following some youtube videos. I then moved on to a rusty-ish master padlock and had that open in a couple of minutes. Padlocks are easy and moving on to door locks next.
