"Saw these and just had to get one, and guess what?"verified buyer, 02/27/2016
"I'm quite impressed with the quality of the lock"customer review, 12/02/2016
Why buy this
Buy this when hidden feedback is slowing you down
Lock picking can feel invisible at first. A clear standard-pin lock makes the cause and effect obvious: turn the plug, lift the pin, watch the shear line, and connect that view to what your hands feel.
Fast first lesson
See why too much tension traps pins and why too little tension loses progress.
Standard pins first
Learn the core mechanism before adding spool, serrated, tubular, or dimple challenges.
Confidence builder
Use the clear view to understand the open, then repeat without watching.
Practice route
Best way to use a clear lock
Do not only watch the pins. Use the clear view to diagnose the movement, then close your eyes or cover the lock and repeat the same open by feel.
- Start with one hook and one tension wrench.
- Change tension pressure before changing picks.
- Move to a progressive lock set once this feels repeatable.
Helpful next step: Dangerfield EUREKA progressive locks.

Questions
Quick answers
Is a clear lock cheating?
Not at all. It is a training tool, like looking under the bonnet while learning how a mechanism works.
When should I move on?
When you can open it repeatedly without relying on the clear view.
Why standard pins?
They isolate the basic lesson before security pins add extra feedback.
What pick set suits it?
Any focused beginner set works well: PXS-14, Serenity, PRAXIS, or a simple hook-and-rake kit.
Make the first lesson visible
This is the clear trainer to buy when you want pin movement, tension, and the shear line to finally make sense.

The kid and I both love this book
Format: Hardcover
I am so enamored with the illustrator of this book that I've taken to buying almost everything he does. The illustrations here are so cute and playful! My daughter wants to read this almost every single day. She loves to point out the bugs on the different page and we make up stories about them. She can now recognize so many bugs we when go outside and is really excited to see them in real life! She laughs at the antics of the ladybug on each page and loves that there are different animals hidden in with the bugs. Really can't say enough good things about this book. My only caution is that there aren't really a lot of words, so if you aren't comfortable ad-libbing or making up stories you may find it a bit boring. But if you make it interactive it's really fun!

Greatest book on the planet
Format: Board book
This book was purchased for me as a baby shower gift. My daughter is obsessed with this book. We have read it so much that our first copy has seen some damage (the book is sturdy, the damage is our fault). I had to get another copy just to keep forever. I will also be purchasing the hard cover book to keep in my collection to have forever. The illustration is brilliant, we love Oscar, the writing itself is so fun. I love that it encourages exploration, play, as well as education. 10/10 - this is our favorite childrens book ever. We read it maybe 30 times a day.

Cute Rhymes and wonderful info
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
This book is super cute and makes bugs interesting with it's colorful pages and different big varieties. The book rhymes throughout the pages and it's so cute and almost reminds me of song that could have sung by the "Animaniacs" (my age is showing lol). In one of the pics I show the cover damaged but that's from my son chewing on the book. Just because it's a board book doesn't meant it's exempt from damage, just makes it last a little longer than a paperback.
I also REALLY like that there is a page that lists the bugs seen along with their names which is helpful in teaching your little one! My son enjoyed this beautiful book. :)

Perfect size, cute illustrations and words
Format: Board book
My toddler girl is super into bugs right now. This book was suggested alongside a bunch of other bug books I purchased (Maisy’s Nature Walk, Bugs, All Because a Little Bug Went Kachoo, The Lonely Firefly, A Good Place). What a great find!
It’s the perfect board book size for me to hold or for my toddler to hold. The illustrations are darling and the words simple enough that my almost 2 year old has pages memorized. When she sees a picture she’ll spout out the words. I appreciate the back page with the illustration of all bugs with their names because lord knows my toddler asks me time and time again “what’s that?!” and mommy is fresh out of lies. My insect knowledge is clearly not as profound as my daughter.
