I have never seen a camo case for LAB picks. On the other hand at one time HPC had a camo case for their 32 piece kit. Maybe that is the case you are thinking of.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I think I know what you're talking about. I swear I've seen a pickset that came in a camo style case on LockPicks.com in the past. I don't see it on their site any more though. Can't really recall if that set was a LAB or a different brand but I know I've seen something similar.

My favourite slimline picks are by far the SouthOrd set. They're cheap, strong, versatile and work well.

Get some wet&Dry sandpaper to sand them down super smooth though. If they mark your fingernail when you run the tip of the pick allong it, then they are too rough.

You could always make a case using camo material - That way you can tailor it to suit your needs. :)

Postby lockpick1968 » 30 Aug 2007 21:09

I like the picks real well from Lockpicktools.com
Not have any problems with any of their stuff and seems pretty tuff and durable.
And they are well priced.

Peterson Masters Second Edition Tri-fold Pick Case closed measures 6x4 inches; I love mine. When open it lies flat, unlike my Southord MPXS-32 case.
