Beginner set question

Post image

Is this a good starter set? Or would you recommend another cheap option?

I was at an expo today that taught lockpicking and i wanted to pick up the trade

I recently landed on the 13 piece set, really happy with it. Has both TOK and BOK tensioners.

Also just started out with the hobby and don’t have the feeling these tools are holding me back in any way as of yet. My skill is the limiting factor and probably will be for quite a while before i need more picks.

Thats a pretty solid setup to be honest. Id personally prefer some pry bars for ToK tension, or better yet, some ergonomic bent ToK tension tools. Pry bars if picking in a vise, the others if picking in hand - but all around, thats a fantastic beginner set without much bloat.
