In this video I unbox and give my initial impressions of the Southern Specialties Elephant Trunks Lockpick Set. Thank you @Mofo78786 for recommending them!

A couple of important notes:
1. This is my initial impressions of the pick set. I just got them today and haven't picked much with them. I'm going to do a review of them in a few months after I get to use them more and try them in more locks.
2. I've used the Sparrow's Monkey Paws set extensively. So my impressions are focused thru my experiences with the Monkey Paws Set.
(I have a heavy science background so it's important to note bias's when evaluating things)

I am still just a newbie in the locksport/lockpicking world. I am not a professional and only have been in this hobby for a few months at this point.

Let's keep lock sport legal! Only pick locks that you own and do not use!
