Folding Lock Pick Rake Set from Ali Express

[@LockNoob]

Fun for a tenner, but a great base for making/modding your own folding pick set?

[@zackwoodhurst8241]

I'd say the scratches on the housing are from the break/bending process of the sheet metal

[@MrCocolitos]

Bending process = radius

[@samuraidriver4x4]

They are probably produced with a die stamp. Feeds a strip of metal from a spool and then gets cut and shaped in one or 2 goes. Very cheap way of producing large quantities of parts like this.

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

That’s correct. 1:18 there were imperfections, chips, or grit on the bending dies. And those dies were much harder steel than the pick set.

[@xavierdubruille]

@LockNoob YES !! Please, customize it ! 🙏 With your skills, it has so much potential 😊 ! (Maybe there's enough room inside for tensors ? Maybe there is a possibility to improve the tightness with a piece of rubber inside the notch ? Maybe there is a possibly for different types of tools (decoder, dimple lock ?) for the perfect EDC ? ) Thank you ❤

[@Sun_Downer]

Think the ball and socket is called a de-tent

[@twatmunro]

I think the scratches happened on the metal bender that were used to form that piece of the tool.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Die stamp 😉

I love when you do pick mods! They're super cool! give me Good ideas

I received mine a week ago from AliExpress for 2.49 US but the pictures was not clear what it was. I took a chance and until this video I was unsure of what to make of it.. I figured I would mod it and at least make a couple of racks and reform others into picks just for fun.. glad to see another’s point of view…

[@Tannim98032]

Thanks again for all the great information and content as always.

[@Howie672]

Thanks don’t know if I missed it but does the tension tool come with it?

[@jmr]

You're right. I love some aspects of the design. It would be interesting if someone made a higher quality version.

[@roysammons2445]

I've seen these bouncing around the Chinese websites. Like you I thought it would make a good starting point to custom make your own tools. 🙂👍

[@bplus2625]

I just "picked" one up myself. 🤭 Would love to see how you mod this, if you decide to.

[@iyeetsecurity922]

It's a better option than the new *Sparrows* folder. Lol $95. Sparrows has lost their minds.

[@iainmcculloch5807]

It looks like it's available for just £4.45 plus VAT right now. It will be interesting to see if what arrives is the same at the tool in the video.

[@Leonslockpad]

Great video Ash mate you should do a mod vid👍👊🇬🇧😎😊

[@AnthonyBerardis-r1p]

Where is this thing made?

[@LockNoob]

China

[@hansmntfr]

I have the comb pick version of this tool, I like it, the only downside is that it doesnt have any for 4 pin locks

[@jonmcdonald6374]

A little machining and it will.... js

[@BeercanBushcraft]

It's a GENUINE multitool - it's got a bottle opener 😂😂😂 Definitely modify it and send it over to Sparrows to copy the Chinese 😆 Nice one mate 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻 🍻

[@69MaxVerstappen69]

missed opportunity to say its held closed by a "dimple" lock

[@dyslectische]

A edc for thiefs . What look like a keyring with a bottle opener.

[@tonyambrose5679]

No turning tool though so that's another downer

[@isabellam1936]

Are those rake profiles only good for euro and or Asian locks because they look strange compared to the rape profile I’m used to seeing in the USA. Does anyone know?

[@SuperFunkmachine]

They work on euro locks, just the cheaper end.

[@chriscapune7873]

Yes worth a tender 😃👍🐾🐈‍⬛🍻👏

[@2258kid]

Copy the Chinese? Is that even possible? I thought they “borrowed” patents and ideas from the rest of the world 😂
