Breaking Down the Bogota Style Lock Pick Set Review
These are some of the absolute coolest lock pick sets out there on the market. They are also as one of the most useful and incognito ones. This style of lock pick is meant to be extremely portable. Sticking with it’s portability, the set only consists of two main pieces – the famous Bogota rake and one feeler pick. The great thing about this set only having two pieces is that each piece also features an “L” shape bend on the rear end. This functions as your tension wrench. This way, no matter which pick tool you choose to use for a particular job. You always have a torsion wrench on the other pick.
These two pick tools were constructed such that they fit perfectly together. What makes this pick set ultra badass. They are held together with a small pen spring or a standard safety pin. Another important note about the Bogota lock pick set is that they are polished, making them slide nice and smooth across those pins to pick that lock.
First of all, the Bogota rake is fantastic. We have picked all types of locks from padlocks to deadbolts with this simple rake. It is one of the most universal rakes available no matter what lock pick set you are looking at. You don’t have to be a superstar lock picker in order to use this simple tool and it is one of the quickest and most effective picks out there. Learning how to rake properly can be tricky at the start, however, you will gain a good feel for where the pick is hitting the pins. The tension wrench of course is much more tricky in that you have to time it perfectly. The Bogota lock pick set is so simple and works so well that it is one of our very favorite here at Picker Of Locks.
Locksport Usage
Locksport UsageThese picks are often used in locksport because they provide a sort of standardization to picking speed. This lock pick set will have you feeling like the real 007 himself. The Bogota is super lightweight and portable with the rake easily able to pick a 6 pin lock while having plenty of grip. Tools included in this set are well designed, strong and fits really well in your hands and I have larger than average hands.

I know this may sound simple, but trust me, there are plenty of sets out there that suck big time and will leave you with a nice chunk of pick stuck up in your lock, we have tested them before.
