Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: A Good Introduction to Locksmithing Customer Rating:   I'm neither a locksmith nor interested in becoming one, but I did want a basic understanding of the locksmith's art and science when I bought this book. It gave me just that; a nice overview of the different types of locks, some basic service instructions. I would have liked for a bit more information about safes and combination dials, but I understand that the book needed to be limited in scope to keep it readable. The illustrations are fantastic and it had a "taken from real life" feel that many textbooks lack. Waste of Time Customer Rating: This book is really worthless. If a novice, you will not know a whole lot more when you are done than when you started. Most glaring error - torque wrench. Author repeated refers to using a torque wrench when picking locks, but such a tool appears nowhere in the book, not even the index. Handcuffs, automobile doors, combination locks - all lack the necessary directions for one to even begin to understand the processes involved. There is not even a picture of the inside of a car door! Don't waste your time on this one. The omplete Book of Locks and Locksmithing by Bill Phillips Customer Rating: Outstanding work by Mr. Phillips. Very informative and educational. Great service by the Amazon.com staff. Thank You All. Complete Customer Rating: This book tells you all most any thing you could ever want to know a bout lock. I can pick most lock an less then a minute, and this book tells you how to bump key locks. It tells you how to pick UL rated locks, but it did not tell me as much as I needed to know on how to pick UL locks. I would say buy this book. A fine book Customer Rating: This book is well written. It covers basic information that will be helpful to budding locksmiths. The book touches just about any matter that a locksmith will encounter. It is laid out well and has many pictures and diagrams. Some of the reviews listed for this book are a tad overblown...but this book would definitely be a good one to have if you are studying locksmithing. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
