The half circle in the Southord set can be used as a decent SPP tool for dimple locks. You can also look at dealextreme.com for a 6$ pick set that has a single dimple rake. Quality of this set is not the best, but you can't beat the price.

Euro. To be honest I'd buy the Euro ones for US locks as well. They are just a little slimmer along the shaft so might be a tiny bit more delicate, but I've never bent one yet.

Im with burry on this, the thick shafted picks are really only for beginners and the really heavy handed, the Euro picks will work better even on the american locks, but they are not the prybars that the thick shafted picks are, they aren't for the high pressure pickers.

get some euro picks and sand the edges round. then don't use a lot of force.

Buying that small set from DealExtreme which has the dimple pick wont cost you anything extra, as the shipping is free.

I tried Raimundo's tip in another post of using the double ball for dimples and it worked like a charm, but probably would'nt do well with one from a slimline set as it is used from the flat side.
