![[180] Review - Law Lock Tools Increment Pro and Tipene Hook sets @MichaelMaynard](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F56Uyo0eYk8/maxresdefault.jpg)

Law Lock Tools in the UK is making some fantastic picks. This video looks at their main kit - the Increment Pro kit, plus the smaller Tipene Hooks, and also briefly touches on the Nessie rakes.
These picks were clearly designed with the working locksmith or law enforcement practitioner in mind and have a solid, no nonsense approach to their construction. The handles in particular are almost indestructible and provide excellent feedback but are definitely more suited to picking locks in a "pins up" configuration, like Europrofile locks. Versions more suited to hobbyists are in development.

The Galaxy is a completely new mechanical lock design. It has massive advantages over old style conventional locks, and very few disadvantages. I have no affiliation at all with the makers or sellers of this lock.")

Quick pick and lock-over of one of the Assa Mogul jail locks. This one has the Assa Twin V10 mechanism, which is a great design.
Sorry about the sketchy sound quality.")

The Locxis is the poor cousin to the Mul-T-Lock Interactive. It has two interactive chambers...but that doesnt help its security much. I would not buy this lock, you should buy the MTL Interactive instead. Part 2 will be a tutorial on how to pick this lock - its an easy lock to beat.")
![[169] First pick - Cei 385T](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JjjjhPUU-GU/mqdefault.jpg "[169] First pick - Cei 385T
First pick of this interesting Chinese lock, as far as I know. Its a six pin in pin, (of which two outers are set by active elements on the key) plus a four slider sidebar. A quick look at the key will reveal that its an attempt at cloning the Mul-T-Lock MT5+ - more homage than copy really - but with much poorer manufacturing tolerances and overall poorer quality. Still, its the best Chinese lock Ive seen in a while and in my view they got it half right. Its also sometimes known as a Five Colours Lock but is considerably different to other locks of this name from the same manufacturer.")

This is a truly excellent addition to the Sparrows Progressive Lock kit, and its well worth the money. Buy pinning tweezers and shims while youre at it, theyre cheap and they make all the difference.
