Pocket Lock Pick Set
The United Defense 8-piece lock pick set gives you a starter range of picks and tension wrenches in a pouch small enough for a pocket or glovebox. It also includes a printed copy of the MIT Guide to Lock Picking, so a beginner gets the tools and the explanation in one box. It suits hobbyists learning on their own locks, preppers who want an entry tool in a kit, and anyone who has wondered how a pin tumbler lock actually works.
Features
- Eight-Piece Kit — The set contains six picks and two tension wrenches, which covers the basic tools used on a standard pin tumbler lock, the common keyed cylinder found on doors and padlocks.
- Hook Picks — Single-tipped hooks lift one pin at a time, the method called single pin picking, which is slower but teaches you what is happening inside the lock.
- Rake Picks — Wavy, stepped tips are scrubbed back and forth across the pins to set several at once, a faster approach on simpler locks.
- Two Tension Wrenches — These small L-shaped tools apply light turning pressure to the lock's core while you work the pins, and every pick in the set needs one to function.
- Ridged Metal Handles — Each black-finished pick blade is riveted to a flat metal handle with grooved texturing for a more secure hold between the fingers.
- Nylon Carry Pouch — A blue nylon pouch with black bound edges holds the picks upright behind a hook-and-loop strap so they stay in order.
- Fold-Over Flap Closure — A rounded flap covers the tools and closes with hook and loop, keeping the set together in a bag or drawer.
- MIT Guide Included — A stapled print copy of the MIT Guide to Lock Picking by Ted the Tool, dated September 1, 1991, comes with the set as a reference for how locks work and how picking is learned.
Kit Contents and Manual
The picks and wrenches store together in the pouch, and the guide sits alongside as a separate booklet. The MIT Guide is a long-circulated introduction to the mechanics of pin tumbler locks and the feel of picking them, which makes it a sensible companion for someone starting from zero. Practice on locks you own or have permission to open.

Perfect for learning a new skillBeen wanting to get into locksport for awhile and this set was EXACTLY what I needed to get started. Used it on a master lock no 3 and had it open in under 5 minutes once I got the tension wrench pressure figured out. The MIT manual is actually legit and breaks things down in a way thats easy to understand. Only small complaint is the picks are a tiny bit thicker than some higher end sets ive seen online but for the price you really cant complain. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn.
Comes with everything a beginner needs
MIT manual is well written and easy to followPicks are slightly thicker than premium brands

Look good, arrived quickly, very happy.I grabbed the Keep Shooting 8‑piece set because the price was hard to beat and the manual looked legit. The metal no‑slip handles actually feel sturdy, and the blue nylon case is surprisingly roomy. After a few dozen picks the tips were a bit rough, but they broke in nicely after about 30 attempts on my old 3‑pin door lock. Compared to the SouthOrd MPXS‑08, which has a leather case and thicker .025" stainless steel, this set feels a tad lighter but still opens most pin, wafer and disk tumbler locks I threw at it. Overall a solid entry‑level kit for the price.

Great starter setCan be used for professionals or amateurs. Best price online too from my findings.

Pretty goodI keep this around as a spare set. Good starter set for sure, and good to have around. A bit rough and the pouch doesn't really *organize* as much as hold everything. For the money though, I'd get another.
