Nice to see another folding pick set come onto the market. Let me know what you think!
I love all the slight variations of Jacknife types and little nuances that's on offer. This one does look pretty cool I must say and it is nice to see 8 variations of picks. Agreed an extra BOK tension wrench would have really set this little kit off. I think the price is very reasonable too to be honest.
Great review as always Lock Noob 🙂👍
Ash did ya get my email
I like the pick profiles and also the aluminium body, but not the screw, which looks like it's super annoying. The fork-shaped side of the turning tool, is it useful for some kind of locks or us this just to keep it in place?
Was wondering if you have any discount codes for sparrows lockpicking site? Want to buy the vorax for my first set. Figured I'd try my luck. Love the content. Thank you
Thanks for the review! As I suspected they did not "solve" the thumbscrew issue. I have one of the other ones in the wallet and, as you said, you don't get it out often but when you do the screw is always lost in the wallet somewhere. Is there something that holds it in? A rubber ring or something else? From what I can remeber only the Pocket Pick (by Martin Newton) comes with two tension tools and IIRC later versions of the SWIC (or maybe the earlier versions?). Also the SWIC features some fancy cool locking mechanism without the screw, maybe you can compare the three options.
I like it.
I guess I sorta collect EDC picks, pens and jackknives particularly, but not intentionally, I just keep buying new ones for some new feature I like.They all have their good points and shortcomings, and I've modified (customized) most of mine to my own personal taste.
I agree with your assessment of snake rakes, one of my favorite rake profiles is a snake that is (bent? Offset? DeForest?) So the tip is like a small bump, buy in a pinch can be used as a shallow hook. I also often rake with it upside-down letting it act like a shallow double peak.
One thing almost every EDC set share is a lack of turning tools, but I have one jackknife (I can never remember the name or who sells them) that has SIX different wipers, and 2 double ended pry bars of different thicknesses, for a total of TEN different tension options, as well as 12 pick/rake profiles.
I will buy this set! But not until the price drops a bit to be on par with other jackknives.
Hi Ash
I have one !
When I select one pick I can’t stop it moving it’s loose!
I’ve tried tightening screw hard
Is this normal?
Cheers
Tim
Great review Ash and thanks for sharing. Take care mate and enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
I have carried this for a few days. Works ok. The thumb screw comes loose very quickly while trying to rake a lock. That part gets very annoying. Trying to find a solution haven't found one yet
Looks like it needs to be given the Rook Knight treatment with a Chris Capune universal tension tool 😀
Can the thumbscrew be moved to the other side?
Nice one mate 👍 🍻
Out of the jackknifes you own & reviewed on your Channel what is the best to worst in your opinion
Not including the ones direct from China even tho this looks to be made from there ?
Thanks Noob
Nice review. If you're only going to have one turning tool, that looks like a good choice.
They could have easily done away with the thumb screw and had a lever which would be much more flush with the body. Additionally once loosened the lever could come away to be another tension tool.
U are a great teacher,
I learn so many things from u.
May God give u long and healthy life…🌹
Nice – Thanks for reviewing. My question is, if you weren't given one, would you have bought one for your EDC? Also, now you do have it, will you actually personally carry it around as your EDC? Cheers!
The city rake and snake rake could use some work. The snake looks like a hollow half ball with a tail ..any how,
Not saying they wouldn't open a lock but I think they could be done better
Do you know if any picks from other manufacturers would fit it.
Great video as always 👍
That city rake looks a bit different then what i’m use to seeing, it almost looks like a hybrid of city rake and a deforest
Watching from philippines ,,, i love that folding lock picker❤️
Looks like a good pick tool.
I reminds me a little of the old Mad Bobs jackknife.
Good review!!😃🐈🐾🐈⬛🐾🇬🇧🍻
Dangerfield needs a quality control person.
Nice review Ash mate and how are you doing👍👊😊😎😎🇬🇧
It looks quite nice… except for the huge, curved DANGERFIELD written on the side. Why would they think we want that? It can probably be removed, but the name would have been much better if written less prominently in smaller print.
Looks like a lawsuit from Covert Instruments coming in the near future. NEVER infringe on a patent from a company owned by a lawyer.
I’ve watched hundreds of lock picking videos and I’ve never seen anyone use the half diamond yet it is in nearly every kit. Why is that?
So 7 and a half ish cm then? We don't need inches – it's only a tiny minority that uses inches so let them work it out. But it's a nice looking little tool. The amount of hooks are perfect for these types of tools (it's more than usual).
Looks like a good pocket kit. Thanks for sharing.
Nice looking bit of gear. I'm wondering if the thumb screw can be turned around so its on the other side of the handle ?
7:40 That's what she said!
Nice review!, and lovely jacknife!
Thanks for sharing.
You have reviewed quiet some jackknife/edc picking tools so far.
I'd love to see a kind of wrap up video showing the different jackknife pick sets available and some of your "homemade".
I guess this would be helpful if someone really is considering buying one.
Looking at this particular design. I like the length if the picks but I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the locking mechanism.
I guess, with some high level of engineering skills one could incorporate one or two BOK tensioners in that set, too.
Not a fan of the single TOK turner, if you ever needed a range of sizes it's with TOK in my experience
The best selection of picks in any jacknife set I've ever seen, and enough variety to handle almost any lock. Bravo Dangerfield 👍
Any EU links to buy it? It looks great!
Please set your white balance and lock it. . The colour shift in this video makes it unwatchable.
Great review, as always. Just wondering, if you had a stop search (UK), would it be classed as a bladed article? Oh well, back to trying to pick my Master Lock M1 and Yale Y114B locks. Sprung cores, tried light, medium, heavy tension…no luck. Great fun though, even if a bit frustrating!
Liking the aesthetics.
Looks like a cute lil humpback whale.
Usually I want everything to be black, but I would absolutely have one of these in blue.
Haven't had my new blades yet.
I am waiting for mine to arrive. What drew me to it is the posiction and size of the screw. I have struggled a lot with the screws on other jacknife sets. Imbedded as they are, they can pinch. I also cannot tighten them enough with my fingers alone. I have had to use a small needle nose pliers, every time. Looking forward to trying it out.
Do you recommend a special jackknife?
Greetings from Denmark.
I was impressed by how light it is. I have two other jacknife type picks, both of which I removed from my keyring after a week as I was waking with a limp. Great video as always.
Wow never been this early on your videos! Love the content and you are an amazing lock picker sir!
Finally….awesome to see him come into that field of play.
