Once upon a time. My hands are awful now, so I’m missing the nuances, but I still enjoy decimating random master locks around campus from time to time. (Note: said locks are random and missing keys and laying around. I do not break into buildings. I’m admin, I don’t need to pick things to get where I need to go lol). ---

Short answer yes ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/3/6/0366165a85c8016b39dc2321017f0006bd967f2a.jpeg) Long answer I have various sets around my house, car, garage, in my wallet and in various bags. Locks are to keep honest people honest. ---

Hammer, brute force, and persistence has yet to fail me. Then again i haven’t really had the need to lockpick or unleash my anger upon a metal box. ---

I’m a big fan of covert instruments mostly because they are local to me and in my home town so some personal bias. ---

My wife is better at picking locks than I am, although I’m pretty quick with a Bogota rake.
