Not OP, but No, looks 100% legal. We need to not get into the trap of arbitrary and ridiculous "grey" zones of legality. Yes, we know that set can be used for illegal things, but they can also be used for legal things.

Next up: Mandatory Registration and "licensing" for locksmiths. Because that becomes necessary if we start going down the path of legislating lock picking tools.

As well as registration of machine tools and licensing of machinists, after all those can be used to make lockpicks (and guns)!
