The tools are made of metal, sure over time they might warp, but you could also bend it back. I've had this lock picking set for almost 5 years now, and they're still in great condition. The tools can still bend, but you'd need to use alot of force to do so. Since they are skinny/tiny, they would eventually break apart, but I'd say they can easily last 20+ years. I've been lockpicking every month or 2 and trying about 20 times in those months. It just depends if I'm practicing or trying out random padlocks. They WILL last nearly forever.

Thanks! I'm glad I can help out.
As for the lockpicking skillset, its something you need to feel for. Like having the right amount of pressure for tension (turning the lock partially before picking the pins), plus telling the difference between a pin that's already picked versus the pins that are not successfully picked yet. Even in the videos, I had to dig into the keyhole back and forth many times to figure out which pins were blocking the way of opening the lock. I really wish it could be easier to show you all a way. I mainly did this to share that it is possible, but never give up, because I'm sure all of you would be successful. If not, visit Houston, Tx sometime! 😃
