"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.

For a luxurious throw,
Size: 50"x60", Color: Grey
I originally bought this throw just to have something cozy around the house—and I was immediately impressed with how unbelievably soft it is. After owning (and loving) a lot of blankets, I’ve realized most only have that plush, silky feel on one side. This one is different—it’s soft on both sides, with a weight and drape that feels genuinely luxurious.
The dark gray color is another standout. It looks elevated and expensive, and it’s held up beautifully through multiple washes without losing that silky texture at all. It honestly feels just as soft as the day we got it, which is rare.
But the reason I had to write this review is unexpected.
We’ve been sleep training our almost 1.5-year-old son, and this blanket somehow became part of the routine. It lives in his room, draped over the rocking chair for those long middle-of-the-night wakeups. Over time, he started pulling it down and choosing to sleep on top of it… on the floor.
We couldn’t tell if he preferred the floor—or the blanket.
So I tried something: I put the throw on his bed.
And just like that… he started sleeping in his bed.
Apparently, this blanket is the key to sleep training.
If you’re looking for something soft, durable, and genuinely cozy, this is already a great buy. But if you happen to have a toddler resisting bedtime… this might just be your secret weapon too.

Very soft. Wash only on gentle cycle in cold water and low tumble dry. Fabulous blanket.
Size: 50"x60", Color: Orange
So far so good. It was a little sheddy at first but then I washed it and it was fine. It is super soft even after being washed twice. Several people have commented on how soft it is and stated they thought it was a Minky couture. I washed it on gentle cycle in cold water and dried it on gentle low tumble dry. It does not seem to be shedding now. I washed it a second time and put vinegar in the rinse cycle because supposedly that is supposed to help bind the fibers or something. Still seems to be not shedding. It's probably the softest blanket I have every owned. When I wash it, I will continue to wash it on gentle in cold water and dry on either gentle low tumble dry r just air fluff. I read the heat good make the fibers loose and cause more shedding. If anything changes, I will update.

Quality of fabric may be less plush.
Size: 50"x60", Color: Tan
Very soft and plush blanket, although it not as thick and heavy as previously purchased in another color (same brand) it’s still a nice blanket.
