Hobbyists who want a quick-open tool for easy padlocks and cabinet locks, makers opening cheap locks with lost keys, and anyone curious about how bumping works. It does not replace learning to pick — security pins (spools, serrated) stop a pick gun.

Belt level for the manual lock pick gun
Not a belt tool: the belt ranking only counts single pin picking. Use the snap gun on white-belt locks for fun, and a hook to progress. See the full lock picking belt ranking to plan your next lock.
Prefer a sturdier build? See the GOSO lock pick gun. All pick guns are in our lock pick guns collection.
Legal note: lock picks are legal to own and use on locks you own in nearly all of Europe. Read our legality by country page. Only pick locks you own, never a lock in use. New to the hobby? Start with how to pick a lock for beginners.
The quality looks really good, no play at the end.
Not bad little bump tool, quite decent build quality, thick steel construction made well, to last a long time

FAQ
Lock picking questions before you order
The questions we get most from first-time buyers.
Is it legal to buy lock picks in my country?
Owning lock picks for hobby use is legal in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechia and the Nordic countries; the UK restricts carrying them in public. We only ship where the hobby is legal — see legality by country.
Do I need a practice lock with a lock pick set?
Yes if you are a beginner. A transparent padlock lets you see the pins set while you feel it — the fastest way to learn. Most of our kits include one.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship with tracking and arrive in 7 to 14 days across the EU, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. You receive the tracking link by email.
Which belt level is this product?
Every practice lock and kit page has a Belt level section in the description. White belt means any beginner can open it; yellow and above need single pin picking. Full ladder: belt ranking.
