My set.

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

My set.

Hey n00by,

I wouldn't give up explaining/showing what set you bought just because you couldn't get the image posted. You could always describe the set by typing. What make and what set did you buy? I would imagine most people on this site will know exactly what you bought if you say something like...I bought the SouthOrd MPXS-08 or the...

Anyways, best of luck with your new picks. :)

Well, I ordered individual picks and tension wrenches. I ordered from http://www.lockandsupply.com. I got RYT-MLPX-10(Mini Diamond Pick), RYT-RLPX-14(Bill Deforrest Hook pick), RYT-MLPX-14(Mini Blue Deforest Diamond), HPC LPX-10(Diamond Pick .022 w/handle), HPC STW-3(Tension wrench, DS Flex), HPC TR-12(Tension Wrench Single End 4-1/2"), HPC TR-22(Tension Wrench Tulip Med 4 1/4"), HPC TR-4(Tension wrench Rigid DBL End), HPC TR-9(Tension Wrench LT 5 1/4" DBL), and RYT RLPX-10(Full Diamond Lock Pick). I also ordered from the Peterson website (http://peterson-international.com) and got .6mm Peterson Gem, .6mm Peterson Hook and the Slender Gem. It kind of looks like a lot but it's only 9 picks and 5 tension wrenches.

LOL...when I was reading your description I was thinking...holy cow he got a lot of stuff and then you added "It kind of looks like a lot but it's only 9 picks and 5 tension wrenches." It seemed like you ordered a lot because the descriptions are pretty long. Sounds like you have yourself a pretty good selection going.

I thought you had bought a kit as opposed to individual picks and that's why I had suggested just letting us know what kit you bought. Now I know why you wanted to post the image. :shock:

Have fun pickin'

I would definately say HPC because I use to have the pxs or psx-14, whatever it's called. So it didn't have any handles or anything and the HPC ones do, and they also look cooler than southords so I would just say HPC overall, I have definately gotten better with my new set of picks now.

Yeh if you didn't have handles to start with, i can imagine, but you don't have any experience with handled south ord. They look identicle, Ive been lucky enough to have a locksmith nice enough to put his pick in my hand and say compare, i used southord half-diamond and HPC half-diamond, like em both, work just as good, same thing! Only one has rivets :)

Nice Luke, you are one rich kid. I'm just kind of curious but is there a reason why some of the Peterson have blue and black handles? Also what picks do you use the most in your collection and how do you like them?
