This is my first real set, finding it quite friendly to someone new to the sport.

The tiny pockets in the hinges are meant for the folded tensioners they fit nicely

[TheLockWhisperer]

I grabbed this set as I had just gotten into lock sport. For a beginner, it has been an awesome set to have! Thinner picks have allowed me to practice picking all the locks I need to.

Great tutorial. I recently bought the Genesis kit. To my surprise, I pick my three locks in no time flat. I wish Covert Instruments sold pick and cases separately but can't seem to find them if they do. Am Handicapped and find the handles to be very comfortable. Myy only trouble is feeling the pins set.

You can put the ergo turners in the right thin pocket between the center and the flap. Then when you close it, be sure the bit end is between the first and second pic from the right. Hope that makes sense.

Loved that cut when talking about the RFID card.😊

I love my Echelon set! Swapped out for the black Garrison case.

I picked up the TOK ergo turners (the original set has 4 different thickness options) last fall when I realized that -- at the time-- Covert Inst. was the only company making such a turning tool. Not sure if that's changed, but glad to see them included in a standard kit like this. Great review as always.

The thin slots where the pouch folds would probably be a good place for the bent turning tools so the would lie flat when the pouch is folded up.

I want those tension wrenches, I try to carry more tension wrenches than picks

[wolfganggrojcig]

What a coincidence! I just received mine this week along with the genesis set and other tools and practice locks. I was surprised how small these tools were. On youtube they seemed huge! 😅

I wish I got the Lishi tool for SC4 and AM5 as well as the two decoders for combination locks

I ordered one of these for their July 4th sale for the case and I can always use more picks. Especially since my Dangerfield Praxis set sprung a leak and I lost some of my .20 stuff.

My Multipick locknoob Ayoob would look nice in there but it broke 3mo. after I got it exactly where it meets the handle. Raked and pulled the cylinders on 3 5-pin Schlage (very quickly, it does work very well on certain bitting) to re-key and the fourth locked up hard on a forward stroke and it snapped surprisingly easily at the handle. I am wary of the sandwich handles as a result but I am keeping an open mind. The Praxis and Polaris set has withstood over a year of picking/raking in use locks without any issue.

[TheEndlessTravellerWales]

the dimple rake can be used to pick a few master locks without needing a tension tool which can be handy

[RCROX]

You should have your own brand of lockpicks, too! I would definitely buy them!

[michaelstann]

Good video. I like this set but it's not only 20 more for this over the Genesis set. I wish

[paultowl]

I have this set as well. I agree with all of your conclusions. I also agree it half diamond would make a cool addition. Good review.

[sodalines]

i love this set. now if they had a dimple pick like a flag for right and left. or just and regular one. anyway great set. love the video m8

🎶In echelon we carry on. Oh, nothing will stop the Air Force. Oh, nothing will stop the US Air Force. Air Force!🎶 Seeing the name of this pick set made me think of that song, and Doctor Who was NOT my introduction to the song. I knew the song prior to seeing that particular special, and I loved hearing it in there because I love that song. There was a time where the lyrics said Army Air Corps instead of US Air Force, but that would've been WW2 and for a little while afterwards until the name change occurred.

The RFID sleeve is for credit cards, so that people can't scan them. Great review thanks.

[fonzievarata]

Is there a functional difference between top of the key way and bottom of thr key way? Or is it just user preference?
