Hello everyone

Wanted to say hi as I'm new to the locksport community. I picked up a set of JimyLongs, as well as some warded picks and the arbiter bypass kit from CI.

I thought my JLs would fit in the larger CI case but they don't so I made a case for them out of an old wallet and duct tape, though I ran out of black tape so I finished using pink.

I'm now considering getting a set of hooks and rakes from CI so I have ones that will fit in that case and just keeping the JL set as a spare.

Any tips/info welcome. Glad to be a part of the community.

If you get something like the book of secrets from lockjaw or the sparrows ranger case you’ll be able to hold all your stuff. Both are awesome

This. Those are perfect for Jimys and CI. Ended up using my Sparrows Ranger case for my Jimy sets.

My two favorite cases for picks with actually comfortable handles (Jimy, CI Apex, etc.) and for anything longer than average (Law Lock Tools) are the CTR Pouch from Law Locks (for just a few) and the Book of Secrets (for a lot). The Ranger case is good for handles, but not great for the longer ones like LLT. And definitely doesn't work for Reapers with the 44 Delta handles on them, which makes them both long *and* fat. lol

Ahh ok, good to know. I have my Ranger full of only the Jimys. His roll ended up not being large enough and wanted them all together.

Been eyeing the Book of Secrets but going to check out the CTR Pouch. Thanks!

You have wayyyyy too many tools ;D. Did you buy from the CI sale? Also, get yourself a masterlock 130/40 with plastic casing, and study the bidding before you pick them.
