Hey, I'm planning to make some lockpicking kits for redteamtools.com that have an Alice-like aesthetic.

The goal is to make something that will be appealing to folx who like ๐Ÿ’• emoji, and perform well enough to be part of security peeps' everyday carry.

My design priorities are:
1. effective
2. cute
3. smol & lightweight
4. well made & reasonably priced

Kit #1: "Bear Necessities" โ€” This kit is designed to open just about any pin-tumbler or warded lock you're likely come across (especially in the US).

> Two hooks, one rake, two turning tools, two warded picks, and a latch tool.

Kit #2: "Kid Sister / Brat" โ€” This kit is designed to open basically any diary, luggage, desk, cabinet, or other tiny lockโ€”all while being small enough to hide in a lip gloss case. I wanted to make this one because not only do I love tiny locks, but also because they're everywhere and most lockpicking tools are too big to fit in their smol keyways.

> One slender short hook, one small turning tool, two little jigglersยน, one TSA007 key, and one handcuffยน key.

ยน get yer mind out of the gutter

@alice does kit 1 include the bear outfit
@alice I am excited about the concept of both. I don't know if I would buy them because I don't have enough input and also it's early and I haven't slept enough so I don't have enough brainpower either. But if I were buying lock picking tools and what you describe was an option, that's probably what I'd go for.
@alice This is a US only thing isn't it? I looked at their website last night after your purchase post. Granted it was late in this part of the world and I was struggling to see straight.
Based on that, I'm not going to vote, but all the very best with that.
@alice Awesome! Can't wait to sign up and enjoy the stares when I use a kit like that to open locks. ๐Ÿ˜œ

@alice

I wish we were close enough that I could go to a class of yours if you ever have one.

@alice I love waking up to good news
@alice Is there like a mailing list for this I can sign up for โ€‹โ€‹
@LoadBearingOrdinal not currently, but I'm sure it'll be all over Fedi when it goes live ๐Ÿ˜Š
@alice oh, I could send the Brat kit to a ton of people just to show them how little resistance their precious office locks and furniture drawer locks have.
@alice I am very excited to be able to buy a cute lock pick set for my weirdo kiddo.
