It's a fun little product, but it has its limitations. The locks are all pretty easy to pick, and this was my first real foray into lock-picking. Lock #1 will fall open if you look at it funny, Sometimes, all you need to do is put a little wrench pressure on it, and it opens. All told, it took me about 40 minutes to go over the book and pick all five locks. The cheap 5-pin deadbolt on my back door took me far longer to pick than lock #5 with the very same tools. The stand is convenient for practice, however, as are the #4 and #5 lock. My only real complaints are that the holes for the locks in the base are too shallow and the locks tend to fall out; and the picks could use some sort of padding or rubberization on the handles. They tend to dig into your palms when using them for an extended period of time. I was able to resolve this with some electrical tape and shrink tubing. Worked great! I did learn not to cheap out on the handles if i decide to buy a more extensive pick set in the future, however.
