    Nice review. This really is a quality well priced beginner set. I love that they etched your logo on the handle.

    Nice review and a good honest look at these picks from Covert Instruments.

    I love my CI Genesis. Very nice quality and great looking picks. They also use very good metal as well.
  • @rickylee2477
    Definitely a nice set. I also bought the echelon set as well. The tension tools in this set is my favorite. I had to go back and buy more.

    Nice review! I love this set! Ive picked my way up into purple belt locks with this set so far! I do prefer the ergo turners from ci for tok though. Nerve problems in my hands make using the z bar for tok in hand difficult. But i love them for bok!

    I've just bought the eshelon and should get it in about 10 days. Looking forward to trying it out

    Excellent review as ever. Great price point. I might consider using in place of a wallet 🤔 👍

    Sweet review D 😎 as beginner's kits go that Anit a bad place to start 😁 personally I'd recommend the southord c801 over that kit 😁 but great review mate I wondered what they were like
  • @CucumberLocks
    Watched the video. Having some decent TOK and BOK seems OK for 2 hooks and 2 Christina Palmer rakes, for a beginner set
  • @TequilaDave
    WHY didn't they make the opposite side a few mm deeper so you can fit additional picks in as opposed to just a card/shim?!? Thanks for the review, I have yet to try any CI picks yet myself apart from the Covert Companion (which I had to use today at work as it happens 😀). I'm guessing they're en par with Multipick regarding quality etc...?

    Cool. The items included make me think of the Sparrows Spirit set. Would you say that CI picks are stronger than Sparrows? I have the Spirit set and I find them a little flimsy at times. Cheers for the review man. :)

    Tip: If things are falling off of your desk, then flip the desk over. Nothings falls upward, so it shouldn't fall over.

    CI makes great products but as far as cases go nobody has done a better one than the sparrows tuxedo case. IMHO
