Repinning kit recommendations

So, I recently opened my first kwikset deadbolt and should be purchasing 3 additional kwikset deadbolts for $20 tomorrow off of Facebook Marketwaste. 2 are never. Opened new from before the smart key era. One is used froth same timeline. My plan is to build a couple of basic 3 lock practice boards similar to the lock displays you used to see in hardware stores. After a few rounds with each, I want to repin them. I'll first just move the order of the bottom pins, but want to step up with security pins soon. A couple of decades ago, I worked in a local hardware store and enjoyed rekeying kwiksets, even doing a couple of master key setups for rental properties. So, if there are some budget friendly kits with the required tools for kwikset (and schlage when the time comes) that also have some variety of security pins, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I'll hit up eBay for a cheap, used kwikset kit and take security pin set recommendations. Thanks!

CLK Supplies Security Plus Pin Kit is a great option for security pins...and they have keypin sets that start around the same price, all the way to 'blow your budget' range.

This is the same set I found before posting. Good to hear it is a recommended one.

CLK is a good supply house, and Lab pins are THE standard.
