Are cheap Amazon lockpick sets worth getting? Tib3rius bought one and tested it to find out! Comparing it to brand name and popular independently made picks, Tib3rius evaluates the contents of this $32 Amazon lockpick set to see if it's worth the low price.

Watch as Tib3rius uses his years of lockpicking experience, plus a good magnet and a set of digital calipers to see just how well these picks were made. Do the turning tools turn? Do the picks actually pick anything? Watch to find out! (Spoiler: yes, and kinda)

My recommended "beginner" lockpicking set:
