I’m new to the hobby and want to upgrade from a cheap amazon set. You and the Lockpikcing Lawyer have become two of my favorite channels since COVID lockdown. I have watched reviews on several products on your channel and others and have myself between two sets. Was hoping for some opinions... Sparrow Ranger kit - has more items and probably easier to use due to grip size and profiles Sparrows nightshift + expansion pack - definitely smaller and slightly cheaper (40+25=$65) Both seemed to have the most common types of pick profiles I’ve seen you and the Lockpicking Lawyer use and recommend, if theres anything these kits are missing that you would consider essential for a hobbyist and minimalist prepper, please let me know!

Question: When the wafer in slot three came out it dropped aside 9:16 and you picked it up and put it in slot two at 9:17. At 9:19 your left great finger picked up the wafer from slot one and at 9:21 you put the wafer stuck to your finger in slot three. So if slot one is no longer wafered and two is now wafered with slot three's wafer and slot three with slot one's wafer, will the keys work when you put it back together?

You could make a pinning shoe out of wiper insert, to avoid cutting these types of locks. That's what I did for my Yale KM Superior. Just slide it into the BoK (US style) and rotate the plug 180° from locked. Remove plug, and enjoy.

BKS is probably one of the most popular lock makers in Germany when it comes to complex locking systems in bigger buildings where a lot of different access levels need to be implemented - like schools and universities. So it's not a big surprise that it has quite some master wafers. My school had a BKS system which probably had already been in place for several decades when I went to school there. Those old systems even used differently shaped key handles depending on the role of the key. Keys which only open one specific door or room had the plain round key handle you find all over the place with euro cylinders. Keys which give access to different areas or doors in the building had the typical BKS style handle. And the master key had a very distinct rhombus shaped handle. But I have never seen one of those somewhere else since then. I guess because it's probably a bad idea to make master keys identifiable that easily so someone with bad intentions would know immediately that this is the one they need to get their hands on.
