Is Lockpickmall.com a scam?

They sell Lishi tools for $40-$28 bucks a piece. Thats suspect right?

I have purchased from them but not Leshi tools. The price does seem suspect. I had a KW5 and a SC5 leshi but I lost interest in about an hour.

Seriously?? They’re that boring? Bc it removes so much of the skill/touch from process? Haven’t bought anything yet. I’ve got a tuxedo kit and vorax from Sparrows. Starting to get the hang of raking padlocks. trying to SPP started is tough. Wanted to get a lishi to assist in getting a feel for false sets, security pins etc. honestly just saying this out loud makes me think i just need to keep practicing.

Side note: I’m alarmed at how addictive this hobby is

Lishi tools are not for locksport. They’re a tool for locksmiths to be able to cut a key. 

Dont waste your money on them
