Anyone tried the Alco Curtain Pick.....

Anyone tried the Alco Curtain Pick.....

Postby superfamiking » 6 Jun 2013 12:57

I had 2 idiots open the back of my van while I was at a red light and they lifted a dewalt cordless drill, electric pick gun, re-pinning kit and my set of curtain picks.
Not bothered about the drill too much as I had 2 anyway, I have a spare pinning kit at my lockup and have managed to bum another pick gun from my mate.
BUT my ICL curtain wheel pick is a sore loss. A fair few quid to replace I have seen a similar set made by Alco for only £120.

Anyone tried them?, are they any good or a complete waste of money?. Looking to try and replace my stuff without breaking an already stretched bank account.

Cheers.

I hope you will be happy with it. I've also been waiting for an answer as I have interest on those, but since no one seems to own one....

Oh well :mrgreen:
Go ahead, keep plugging away, picking on me! You will end up on bypass or with rigor mortise.
