There are a lot of lever lock tools out there, but are any as versatile or dare I say, as beautiful as this set from GJ Locks? I just had to show this off to you all. gjlocks.co.uk/ thank you to all my subscribers for watching and a special shout out to all the working locksmiths, keep doing a great job! *Edit:* To answer a question I’ve had a few times, I am showing this on my lockpicking channel as I find professional picking tools interesting and I assume that other pickers would also be interested to see these tools regardless on whether you can buy them. Please also bare in mind that I have a mixed audience of amateurs and professionals so I hope this appeals to both audiences.

This is a nice set. One of the main motivations for me to start making tools all those years ago was the expense of curtain picks, so I made my own.

Hi Lock Noob, What a great piece of kit! Too expensive for the Locksport community - perhaps, but as a money earner for Locksmiths, it's a no brainer. As a Locksmith, I'm glad that some Companies restrict the sale of their lockpicking tools to Locksmiths only. It seems only a "short" time ago - before the internet - that lock picking tools were available to Locksmiths only - how times have changed! I guess it was inevitable, and if it didn't happen, I wouldn't be watching these videos - and learning, I might add. Please keep showing these type of tools, even if they are not generally available, I'm sure that everyone that's interested in locks can appreciate the different tools that are out there. Regards, Brian.

It's nice to see this stuff, even if I can't buy it. I get ideas as to how to make my own tools, if I need them. I also always wondered what locksmiths over in Europe use to get into Lever locks. You putting this video up about a locksmith tool doesn't offend me. I watch videos on expensive cars I will never own, mansions, etc. And this is definitely lock related. Keep up the great videos, and don't worry about the minority who somehow find your review of locksmith tools offensive.
