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.

Alligator chew toy
Color: purple, Color: purple
Excellent for heavy duty chewing. Good size for medium size (15-25lbs.).
An instant hit with my dog. Very durable. I feel it is safe for my dog to have unsupervised.
I rate this HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Held Up Better Than Most for My Aggressive Chewer
Color: purple, Color: purple
I have to give the Fuufome Dog Chew Toy for Aggressive Chewers a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
I have a very high-energy Lab mix named Boone who is an extremely aggressive chewer. Finding toys that last in our house is nearly impossible. This is actually his second toy like this - the first one is currently in my yard in three different pieces.
While I don’t believe this toy was advertised as indestructible, I still hoped it would fully survive Boone’s chewing. Some parts have held up well, which is more than I can say for many other toys we’ve tried. However, he was still able to do some noticeable damage to the rubber portion after consistent use.
To be fair, it did last longer than most toys we’ve purchased, which says a lot considering how tough Boone is on his things. For moderate chewers, I think this would hold up quite well. For truly aggressive chewers like mine, it’s tougher than average but still may show wear over time.

Best toy for heavy chewers
Color: Green
My dog is an aggressive chewer and I have trouble finding toys that last longer than 5 minutes before being so destroyed it is no longer safe to let him keep it. He loves this toy and naws on it for hours daily. Yes, it has multiple chew marks, but it is still intact completely. No little pieces have been chewed off. I highly recommend this toy for any dog especially those who destroy every toy in seconds like mine does.

NOT Indestructible and a Nylon Product (NOT A CHEW TOY)
Color: Green, Color: Green
I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Bruce” the Green Alligator!
Unfortunately, I didn’t notice in the fine print of the product description on the website that this toy consisted of Nylon. If I noticed that description, I would’ve never purchased this product. Please do your own research on Nylon wrt teeth. I wasn’t impressed with the toy construction out of the box. The nylon head and tail sandwich the rubber body with soft rubber spines on Bruce’s back for easy gripping. This is not an “Indestructible” dog toy.
Safety (1-rating):
1. I was always concerned about my dog’s teeth possibly cracking while he was chewing on Bruce’s Nylon ends. Thankfully, his teeth were fine throughout the use of this toy.
2. The Nylon came off in small pieces after a few hours and continued for the life of the toy; see picture. I never intended for my dog to swallow pieces of Nylon.
3. Bruce’s rubber rear end is where most of the damage occurred, as my dog was tearing off pieces of rubber and spines, which he thankfully passed through his system over a period of 2-3 days after I threw Bruce away; see picture.
4. The chewed-up Nylon ends were very hard, rough, sharp and pointy. There were occasions where I noticed my dog’s gums were bleeding as a result of chewing this toy.
5. Bruce is big enough not to swallow in its entirety, which is why I’m giving this a 1-rating for safety.
6. This is a molded product and not a plush product.
Durability (2-rating):
1. It took my dog 1 to 2-weeks to get the toy in the shape that is shown on the posted photos.
2. The Nylon was immediately being scratched and scraped apart on day-1. Then I noticed pieces of Nylon coming off of Bruce after 3-4 days.
3. The rubber was immediately being punctured with small divots around the body on day-1. I noticed over the next couple of days that my dog was focusing on the rear end and trying to pull the rubber off the Nylon tail.
4. The rubber started coming off more quickly after 1-week, until I removed it all together.
Squeaker (N/A):
1. Bruce has no squeaker.
Fatality (2-rating):
1. Bruce had a longer life than most of my dog’s toys, but then again, I expected this to last much longer as the seller claims it is “Indestructible”, which it is not.
2. I tried filing off some of Bruce’s chewed up Nylon ends to smooth them out for more chew time, but came to my senses and just threw him away for safety concerns only.
In conclusion, “Bruce” the Green Alligator should not be given as a chew toy, but more as a fetch toy, unless you want your dog to digest the Nylon and rubber materials.

This has been a challenge for my extreme chewer! The toy is winning
Color: Green
Indestructible? Not for my pitbull. Except on this toy. She has slowly chewed some of the outer portion on the backside, but it still has a lot of gnawing time left. This is her go-to toy now. she carries it nearly everywhere. She loves it. I am amazed at how well it is holding up. Within minutes, hours or a few days, the other "indestructible" toys I've purchased, never survived as described.
This is a heavy toy! Not for the weak! I cannot stress enough the extreme chewer my dog is. Yet, I can see this toy lasting months. It won't be pretty then but it will most likely still be a favorite chew toy. I'm glad I found this and will be buying more.
FYI's... 1) Chewability-5 stars 2) Softness-1 star, it's solid but chewable, 3) Bounce-0 stars, No bounce, it's heavy!, Playability- 5 stars. My dog plays with it, lets it lay with her when resting. Nearly always within her reach. She sleeps with it! That's love.
