Pocket pick sets

Carrying around a bag full of lock picking supplies isn't always prudent for every adventure, so a less bulky option might be desired.  Pocket and micro type pick sets are almost always a less desirable compromise when compared to using a full size lock pick and full size tension wrench.

I have searched out and tried as many different types of pocket pick sets as I could find and have developed a few opinions about the tools available…



Credit Card Sets

There is a TON of variation here with all but the worst, being adequately functional in a pinch.

Jackknives

These dense little tools use the "Pocket Knife" form factor, typically somewhere around 3" x 3/4" x 1/2” (76mm x 19mm x 13mm).

Minimalist/Ultralight

The smallest, lightest, and most concealable lock picking tools, for those times when other people… don’t need to know.

The above picture is NOT MY CREATION, but presents a fantastic example of what is possible with a little time!
