The problem isn't the equipment, it's the locks. It seems like really developing the skill requires not only experience with many different models/brands of locks, but also (ideally) multiple differently-keyed locks of the same model. And the higher-quality/more challenging locks can be expensive.

I understand that you can bring down the cost by buying lots of discarded locks in bulk from ebay or a local locksmith or something, but there's still a certain point at which I'd rather focus on a hobby that doesn't involve going out of my way to acquire stuff.
