Why buy this
Move from starter picking to a set you can grow into
PRAXIS is the set to buy when you have outgrown guessing with a few random picks, or when you want your first serious kit to last beyond the first clear padlock. It lets you practise the full beginner path: raking for quick feedback, hooks for single-pin picking, top and bottom tension, and gauge choice for tighter UK and European-style keyways.
Practise more than one method
Use rakes to learn movement and hooks to slow down, isolate pins, and build real feedback.
Feel why gauge matters
Compare 0.6 mm strength with 0.4 mm reach so tighter keyways stop feeling like a mystery.
Stop rebuying basics
The set covers core profiles and tension styles, so your next purchase can be a true specialist tool.
Who this suits
A clean step up from starter kits
Building a proper tool roll
Use PRAXIS when you want useful hooks and rakes without a case full of near-duplicate profiles.
Learning tension control
The included bottom and top-of-keyway tools give you more ways to set the plug and free space in the keyway.
Working in tighter keyways
The slimmer 0.4 mm picks help when a standard thickness fills too much of the warding.
Why it stands out
Two gauges, real tension coverage, no padding
The point of PRAXIS is not a huge piece count. It is a deliberate 21-piece working set: eight profiles repeated in two thicknesses, with five tension tools to match the keyway rather than fight it.
0.6 mm picks
Use the standard gauge when you want stronger feedback and more steel under your hand.
0.4 mm picks
Reach into tighter keyways and Euro-style warding where thicker picks feel crowded.
Five tensioners
Bottom, top, and Z-wrench options let you practise more than one tensioning style.
From the bench
"The Praxis is the set we wish we'd had when we started picking, and it's the one we still reach for after twenty years."
Every profile was chosen at the bench, not in a marketing meeting. No filler picks, no missing piece, just the shapes and the two gauges that earn their place in the hand. The whole set follows one rule we keep coming back to: the skill lives in your hands, not in your tools. So Praxis is built to give your hands the cleanest feedback we know how to make, in a steel that holds its edge job after job.
Chris Dangerfield, founder, twenty years at the bench
What is inside
Eight profiles, each in two thicknesses
The pick selection covers short hook, medium hook, DeForest diamond, half diamond, three-peaked EDC rake, S-rake, city rake, and W-rake profiles. Each profile appears in both 0.6 mm and 0.4 mm thicknesses.
- Choose the thicker gauge for stronger feedback and everyday practice locks.
- Choose the slimmer gauge when the keyway is tight or heavily warded.
- Use the rakes for fast feedback practice, then move to hooks for controlled single-pin picking.
Practice route
Start on known locks, then use the gauges properly
Begin with a clear or progressive practice lock so you can focus on one variable at a time: tension, pick height, and feedback. Once the lock is familiar, repeat the same route with the slimmer gauge and notice how the keyway opens up.
For a fuller bench setup, add the practice locks collection or the Beginners Visual Guide.

Questions
Quick answers before you choose
Is PRAXIS suitable if I am still learning?
Yes. Start on practice locks and use one profile at a time. The set gives you room to grow without making the first session feel off-limits.
Why two pick thicknesses?
Thickness changes both feedback and keyway room. The 0.6 mm picks feel stronger, while 0.4 mm picks help in tighter or more awkward keyways.
Are the tension tools important?
Very. Good tension makes the pins readable. PRAXIS includes bottom and top-of-keyway options so you can practise more than one approach.
What should I pair with it?
Pair it with a clear lock for first feedback, then a progressive or repinnable lock when you want a less visual challenge.
Choose PRAXIS when you want one set to keep learning with
Dual gauge picks, useful tension tools, and 301 stainless steel give this set a long working life on the practice bench. Start simple, then let the tighter keyways teach you why the second gauge matters.

Nice watch

Feels cheap, not good for old eyes.
The watch seemed to work good. But it felt cheap, and I was looking for something with better illumination and easier to read. I ended up returning it.
