Sparrows Kick Start Expansion Set
This Sparrows Kick Start Expansion Set comes with the following:
- 1 x Snake Rake (Best Buster) 0.025 thick for Raking
- 1 x Half Diamond 0.025 thick
- 1 x Twin Peak 0.025 thick
- 1 x Shallow Euro Hook 0.025 thick for higher security SPP
- 6 x Tension Wrenches
The traditional half-diamond rounds out the set. The six tension wrenches differ from the ones in your starter set. These picks are the same as the pro lock picks and come with the same smooth finish.
The “Shallow Euro” hook is intended for small, restrictive keyways often found in Europe and “high security” locks such as Yale and Chubb. The slack curvature and slender profile allow the pick to slide past set pins and through highly restrictive keyways where a standard short hook is too large to do the job.
The “Small half Diamond” acts like a wedge while manipulating pins in keyways arranged to disallow a hook-type pick. The half diamond wedges itself under, sometimes past the pins set too low to get a traditional hook under.
The “Best-Buster” is an altered profile similar to the traditional “snake rake”. This rake is effective on many lock types but is specifically designed for shallow, sweeping key bitings like those found in Best, Arrow, and Falcon locks.
The “Twin-Peak” is most effective on the withdrawal stroke, making it one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in that it functions by using a “ramping” effect similar to bumping.
