When I first started picking, I didn't even know about the youtube videos of lockpicking. My interest in picking locks started at an early age, years later I bought a small Southord set of picks, they worked great for a newbie, awhile after that I realized that those picks sucked really bad and I switched to HPC. The Southord picks may not be that bad, but if you pick alot you really need to go with a better made pick. NO you don't need a big set of picks, a an HPC set with a few tension wrenches, a hook, a snake and a diamond will do you just fine. Don't run out and buy a huge set of expensive picks when you first start out, you don't even know if you will like picking at this point and you really shouldn't blow alot of money until you become addicted. I been picking for a few years now, and I am just now thinking about buying a huge HPC set of picks, not because I need them, just because they come with lots of replacements. Don't let anybody try to tell you that a pick should last forever if you use if properly. I have talked with lots of locksmiths who do lots of picking, and they all agree, if you use a pick alot no matter what brand it will become weak and break eventually. So once you learn to pick, it may not always be a bad idea to buy a big set, just don't do it in the beginning. Thats just my opinion, I am sure everybody has different thoughts.
I have been in the souls of many women, but I always end up on the soles of there shoes.
