(1102) Review: Mad Bob's ZOMBIE Lock Pick Kit

This review is of the new Mad Bob's Zombie Lock Pick Kit, an unusual kit that comes with a very durable, hard case. The picks are typical Mad Bob's quality, meaning VERY high. The case, at least in my opinion, is of questionable utility and the kit seems a bit overpriced for my taste.

awesome video Bill, keep em coming!! You even inspired me to start picking locks, last week I had a buddy who had lost a key to a storage unit he hadn't been in for 9 years, and thanks to you sharing your expertise I was able to pick it open for him!! 😆🙇

[@sador111]

year 2569, civilization is ruined. And there it is, one remote cabin in the desert, where the last man works on the last computer, using the last solar panel and makes intro no. 3299458881756 for the bosnianbill

[@gubx42]

Will we still have pickable locks in year 2569? The way we are going, future locks will probably end up being small computers with no physical access to the locking mechanism, and the key will be an encrypted token.

[@sador111]

my comedic comment was aimed solely at bosnianbill having so many fuckin intros

[@bosnianbill]

Hey, gotta keep busy! Besides, I actually LIKE working with Adobe After Effects! 😀

[@pilgrimsmaster9134]

as always, honest reviews appreciated. both ends of the spectrum in this one. one more style than function and the other one is the other way around. keep em coming

[@Mister6]

If sanding would expose the metal to rusting, wouldn't using the picks do the same thing as they rub against the pins and warding?

[@JDStone20]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Kelocyde]

The coating is probably harder than the pins.

[@Tracks777]

I look forward to more videos

[@DarkWoodPicks]

They don't sell the "zombie rake" separately. Not worth spending $60 to try one rake.. What do you think of that rake?

[@tjthrash0143]

Hey @bosnianbill I know you have said over and over you get what you pay for... but i have been watching your videos for a little over a year now and decided i should get me a starter set... It looks like a good challenge to keep my mind and hands busy. Keep the videos coming.

[@bradfry5403]

The lock sport community miss you Bob

[@jonathansantiago5327]

This is one awesome package; very organized! I would love one!

[@G_Zero127]

if you want to fit more picks, you would need to drill out the rivets, insert a spacer and re-rivet it or replace the rivets for bolt and nuts so you can take it apart and insert spacers as needed. Now, if the case was modular with the nuts and bolts straight out the box, I could see it being worth $60.

[@Steampunk360]

Mad Bob is like the BlackHawk of Picksets. Very cool kit. :) Great review Bill.

[@deathsicon]

i've been waiting for this review, i ordered my stuff from mad bobs a few days before this was released, if it had been out i probably would have gotten it

[@ppipowerclass]

The Ghost Pro has been my EDC kit since you first reviewed it, quite a while back now. It has worked excellent for me.

[@WilliamMancel]

Great review as usual Bosnian Bill. Thanks for the info on the case. I like to have the option to cram more picks into a case, and you can't do that on this one. It does seem expensive for what you get.

[@lukevangeuns798]

the ghost pro looks mint ! what a great deal

[@jbrown98579]

i have to admit if i had to choose between either kit id choose the ghost pro not because of price but because of its versatility as you have clearly shown bill.

[@damnitdrey]

agreed, the king and queen are like extra icing on the cake

[@Tracks777]

Nice video man!

[@grimtides]

Biohazard is the Japanese name of Resident evil, there is usually a Set of lockpicks in each game

[@PovlKvols]

Another great review, Bill! I'm somewhat puzzled why Mad Bob had this long backorder time. Maybe just part of the madness?!

[@Shdwpuppet]

Povl Kvols it's because they make all the sets to order and also hand finish them. Which also explains the price.

[@PXCharon]

Neat case in concept, but I'm coming to believe that versatility in what you can carry in a smaller edc set is a bit more important than super durability...

[@lois574]

enjoying your videos and learning

[@kevinw9625]

Good review Bill keep up the good work. I love my ghost pro kit. It's my everyday carry. I added a couple Peterson's .018 picks to mine. I still need to get a praxis kit for at the house though. never know when you need some even thinner picks also.

[@Wrench245]

I'd probably go with the Ghost Pro. Between a phone, a multi-tool and a flashlight, there's already enough junk on my belt. I get nervous during lightning storms. Something I can just slip into a cargo pocket seems preferable for my needs. (Most of the locks I have to pick are either Masters or the cheapest thing a contractor could find at a big box hardware store.)

[@jamesmurphy8014]

I agree! Great review!

[@Tracks777]

I like! Keep it up!

[@larryg7336]

Thank you for the info Mr.Bill

[@RoeLunatic4ever]

whoohoo...nice Bill!!! i'm glad i didn't buy it! Super thanx for showing the better and cheaper! option!

[@sarinhighwind]

I think the idea on this one is like you said in the start. AWOL bag. It's heavy duty case to keep it safe.

[@neosapien995]

Unique hard case. I would like to see someone use it to pick a lock under water in scuba gear.

[@matthewmock9237]

NeoSapien gets tricky without gloves, nearly impossible with gloves, but I'm up for the challenge. Just can't justify $60 for that.

[@feetthong624]

NeoSapien I'd do it no call out charge if can he picked £35 + tax/vat if I have to drill with the case £55 then plus the lick cost idk why more expensive as drilling is easier

[@Chizmas]

Hopefully the zombies don't figure out how to start picking locks!

[@niskizers]

awesome. wouldn't mind the zombie picks

[@lesthompson080773]

i been picking locks for a few yrs now and yeh looks cool this set of lock picks think its over rated most of the picks its kind of like fashion going by makes etc i have same lock picks that i have had for few yrs which i think cost me 30 pounds 30 piece and they do most locks and in nice leather case if you know how to pick locks and not to rough with them most cheaper ones do the job as i said unless your in to makes but does same job

[@teppovanhatalo1907]

That "Deforest Half-ball Peterson Reach" is my favorite from Dangerfield Serenity kit, found it workin very well on tight euro keyways. Too bad Serenity kit doesn't have that standard hook..

[@RUnb-eb7cy]

I do like Dangerfield sets as well, but they need some finishing work with 800 grit sandpaper.. They are cheaper than Mad Bob's but afaik Mad Bob's kits are perfectly finished

[@revdcdon970]

Suggestion: Use Corn Huskers lotion between takes 30 minutes before bedtime. Do not rub it in. Let it soak in. You will be amazed.

[@mrpylak7103]

I have both kits. I like the zombie kit just for the case, but chose to replace a few tools inside. Sparrows and the Ghost picks fit in place. Since I like to collect, I am happy with it. I use it as my EDC.

[@artichoke890]

awsome reviews!

[@bowzerdude5646]

awesome review

[@KPearce57]

Nice set of picks.

[@johnpatrickn875]

Wow the intro is like movie intro wow nice video

[@lockpickneophyte7159]

Being military, the design is very appealing. I usually save my giveaway entries for practice locks (cuz i still need one!) but i am putting in for this one!

[@blwngt1598]

Lock Pick Neophyte I would suggest looking into something like 1 of the Sentry kits from Sparrows if you are mainly looking for a "military inspired" type case. It has Molle on the back, comes with a malice clip, and can "hinge out" while on a vest for easier pick selection.

[@lockpickneophyte7159]

I already have a $90 kit from sparrows. I just liked the hard case. Since you only get 1 giveaway a year i tend to wait for either electropicks or practice locks.

[@dirk4926]

I do like that Ghost Pro set better

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Great review. Interesting set up, but too little versatility for my taste. This would likely be an OK kit for a unit kit, where everyone has exactly the same Mil spec training.... the right way, the wrong way and the Army way...

[@Johnyrocket70]

i wish the necks didnt bend so easy on their standard hooks. i am not a heavy picker whatsoever and the neck bent back aftet a few padlocks.

[@shutupbear]

so do i actually need to comment for contest entry or is just going to lock-lab good enough?

[@glenwoofit]

Better still buy the Praxis kit from UK Bump Keys.

[@RookieLock]

Pretty cool, I've seen this case when it was released but I didn't read anything about it so I thought it was plastic.

[@HKLabs-tech]

like most hobbies, buying the shinies makes it even more expensive

[@joonaknuutinen5540]

yeah but you dont get the brainpick with the ghost set..

[@MrHavoc1001]

50 bucks for this set is a little steep. I still like the idea for the picks to slide in like that.

[@Blaculo]

I'll stick with the sparrows dark shift.

[@BruceHubbert]

Maybe they were heat treated

[@FiveRustyNails]

I'll take the Tuxedo kit over that any day.

[@dustinbailey980]

good call on saving 40 dollars for a case.

[@tristinspace5261]

interesting case there

[@awptickes]

I guess some people are still into zombies.

[@BusterAtlass]

I do like madbobs stuff and a 5 week wait is worth it for the quality of finish I think.

[@kristanrodrigues7705]

so I'm a new lockpicking enthusiast. just ordered a set of sparrows spirit picks, after watching a good seven+ hours of your videos. I don't know your email, so here is a question, why not make bump keys for locks using impression methods?

[@Jmann147]

Bump keys use kinetic energy to bounce the pins to the shear line there's no advantage to trying to add finesse. Using the lowest cut works for pretty much any bumpable lock and can be prepared ahead of time. Impressioning can leave you with an almost perfect key that wouldn't need to be bumped rather simply turned or gently rocked.

[@kristanrodrigues7705]

Jmann147 I guess in the sense of speed of keymaking is where I was going. it would take a while to make a proper key using the impression method, but it would almost always work. but if you were in a pinch of time, say a repo guy or military like myself, and you need to make an impromptu bump key, couldn't you use impressioning as the first step?

[@Jmann147]

You certainly could. However having a bump key with the lowest cuts will work just as well on that lock and any other of the same keyway.

[@ThisGuyCJ]

I have the Ghost Pro, I carry it with me Everyday and I can barely tell it's in my pocket...

[@_BangDroid_]

I don't know if lock picks could be EDC, you could get into trouble

[@adamrichter3267]

love your chanel

[@eliasskuli9845]

i've been waiting for GOSO 24 Piece Lock Pick Set with Sturdy All Weather Zip Case and i saw in one of your video's that it sucks and i've been waiting for 27 days like cmon its said it would come in like 4-14 days cmon im waiting

[@israel9350]

This is like, heh, a year late, but did it ever arrive?

[@x23cv2]

different, but nice kit.

[@jonathansantiago5327]

It's true, the Ghost Pro-Tactical superior.

[@lsalinas3006]

I bought this kit but i got 2 diamonds instead of the reach pick

[@spikeydapikey1483]

As much as i like Zombies, Ghost kit for me.

[@24077631519]

cool set but the pice is very high

[@PandaFPV]

Lol the biohazard symbol is associated with zombies

[@weiserbud12]

Nice

[@1world1love2day]

$60!?!?! Yeah right

[@iadn420]

40$ for a case ummm no but looks good

[@andybrown8293]

Bill is mad bobs advertisement department lol

[@choochoochooseyou]

Seems such an impractical case and poorly thought out selection of picks. No wonder the wait from them is so long if they're wasting time on this. As you said, Bill, they normally turn out quality stuff.

[@SomeGuysg]

hmm....so $40 for a case :P

[@onometre]

Why does everything need to be for a fucking zombie apocalypse these days?

[@AttilaAsztalos]

I blame it on the zombie-craze that took over Hollywood, TV and games (therefore also the rest of the world) a few years ago, replacing the vampire craze on its way out from even before that. I wish it was over already except whatever comes next might be even worse...

[@SuperAWaC]

and people hate on peterson for being overpriced? what hot garbage. what is "carbon spring steel", anyways? that's not an SAE grade steel.

[@Gavia-Immer]

SuperAWaC common automotive spring steels are 5160 and 4140 but in terms of "carbon spring steel" that could refer to the 10__ series and of that plain carbon steel 1075 1080 and 1090 are used in springs

[@SuperAWaC]

if it's marketed as "high carbon spring steel" then it's probably 1095, that is, if they are actually selling what they claim to.

[@NigelTolley]

SuperAWaC And why should they tell you what grade of steel they use in American terms? English company using British steel grades.

[@SuperAWaC]

why should they tell me what grade they use in "american" terms? gee, i dunno, maybe because the standard for steel worldwide is SAE?

[@NigelTolley]

SuperAWaC That's... not actually a reason. That's your opinion.
