FNG+ Bundle

FNG Stands for "F*****g New Guy,": a term of endearment used by battle-hardened soldiers to describe their newly-arrived, or "green", comrades.

When it comes to picking, we were all once an FNG, so we know what beginners are looking for an inexpensive way to try their hand at picking to see if they want to continue their journey. Unfortunately, many start with that cheap, crappy beginners kit. After 2 minutes, they inevitably come to the realization that they like picking, but their now-bent tools suck. Into the junk pile they go.

You get the 3 best tools to get started... the holy trinity of picking. A short hook, a wave rake, and a .040" double-ended turning tool. These are straight out of the Genesis set, so (unlike most inexpensive kits) are made of top-quality steel. You also get a clear acrylic lock. This is not meant to be a practice lock, but rather a demonstration lock. This is where you can see the process of lock picking, and train your hand to manipulate the internal components.

This bundle improves the learning path by also including our CI Practice lock! 

There are many training solutions available to teach the art of lockpicking. Acrylic locks are great to visualize and demonstrate lock internals, but they lack the feel of real locks and teach the bad habit of looking at the pins. Progressive lock sets are great for your first day of picking, but you will quickly outgrow them and memorize the lock configuration which renders them useless for your continued development.

In our opinion this drilled and tapped cylinder is the perfect solution for beginner through advanced pickers. It is extremely easy to pin this lock up in any configuration you see fit: from a single easy to learn pin stack, to an exceptionally challenging configuration full of spools and serrated pins. This training solution will grow with you and take you farther than any other. Includes a hex wrench, array of spare parts, springs, key pins, standard driver pins, and security driver pins.
