Everything you want to learn with lockpicking in a handy case. The Night School Tuxedo Edition comes with seven lock picks, six tension wrenches, three special “cut-away” practice locks, a one case.

The lockpick set is a deluxe version of the Tuxedo set, as it comes standard with Sparrow’s special thermo handles. The Cut-Away locks are all designed for left-handed people. They are milled so that you can see the chambers containing the pins while picking the lock. The design of these locks seems different from what you are used to from normal locks, but they function exactly the same as any other pin cylinder lock. The cut-away practice locks have standard pins, serrated pins, and spool pins. By their English name, these particular pins are a little better known. The Spool and Serrated pins are highly sophisticated security pins. Because of the part milled away, you have a kind of window through which you can see the pins while you are engaged in lockpicking. Store this set in the cover where there is a double flap on the left side to store the items, with even some extra space. The right side has 4 pockets to carry the locks.

Technical Terms.

The “Best Buster” is an alternative design to the traditional “Snake Rake”. This rake is very effective on many different locks, but is made especially for locks where the pins have a flat profile.
The “Triple Peak” is used with a retreating motion and is one of the most effective rakes available. This rake is different from most rakes because it causes a “bump” which is very similar to bumpkeys. This lockpick is very similar to the “Double Peak”.
The “Small Half Diamond” is applicable to the pins of locks where normal Hook lock picks are not applicable, by acting like a wedge. The Half Diamond clamps itself under, and sometimes along, the pins that are placed too low, allowing the traditional Hook to get below.
The “Offset Hybrid” is a combination of a Shallow Hook and a rounded Half Diamond. The wedge-like tip and specially rounded edges slide through the keyhole, so to speak. This lockpick serves as a fulcrum in your set and you will find that this lockpick will make extremely fine and controlled movements. This is crucial in ASSA locks, for example.
The “Short Hook” (also known as “Lifter”) is one of your first choices from your lockpick arsenal. This pick is the most versatile and widely used lockpick available. This Hook lockpick is designed to allow the lockpicker to feel the intricacies at each metal pin in the lock. This lockpick can also be used with a rake technique, allowing you to place multiple pins at once. This lockpick is applicable to many different keyholes and pin profiles.
The “City Rake” is a well-known rake that has proven to be indispensable in every lockpick set. This lockpick is fantastic for manipulating the most common commercial and residential lock pin profiles.

All lock picks are made by Sparrows using only American 301 Cold Max steel which can withstand a pressure of 280,000 PSI. Available in left- and right-handed options – This determines which side the viewing window is cut on. If you hold a lockpick or pencil in your left hand, choose the left option.“
