Peterson PRO-1 & PRO-1E

I honestly would not imagine a serious need for a tubular pick at all unless you're specifically covering tubular locks as a specialty. It's not like people have them on their shopfronts and truck ignitions.

That's actually a really good question that I've wondered about: could someone please tell me where exactly you're going to run into a tubular lock other than vending machines and cheap bike locks?

I've seen them on store merchandise containers, but those along with the vending machine/bike lock ones still kinda fall into the crappy el cheapo category (the ones on vending machines might be a LITTLE higher quality, but not by a whole lot, I imagine). Anything I'm missing here? I keep wondering if I need a tubular pick but I just can't come up with an excuse to blow $100 on that nifty looking one that HPC makes ...

Depends on what standpoint you're looking at the situation from. If you're a working lockie, then you can judge it as profit vs. cost, but if you're just a hobbyist, there's no such thing as need. There's just what you want and what you can afford.

Cash boxes, cheap safe overrides, mailboxes, cabinets, show cases, specialised uses (cam locks), and...... keyed electrical switches.

If you're in a hurry, I wouldn't order directly from the Peterson site right now. I ordered mine a month ago at the dscounted price, and I received a reply from Ken this morning saying it will be another 2 to 3 weeks until delivery.
