I'm getting better with picking, and I've picked all sorts of pin tumbler locks at this point. I want to pick dimple locks like the Abus one seen in the video below. Bosnian Bill uses Sauber picks for this, but they are expensive, and from what I've seen online they aren't the best since many of the picks are not even usable in MUL T LOCKS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ13nSDvVYcDoes anyone here have advice on what to get for a through dimple pick set that could pick that Abus lock (with the proper practice and skills of course). What do you use?

I would recommend buying one or two $14 GOSO dimple pick sets from DH gate. When you get them use a file, dremel or sandpaper to slim them down. When your picking with them you'll see what areas of the pick need to be modified and the kit comes with so many than you'll be able to customize individual picks for specific locks.
Another alternative would be to get some .018"-025" feeler gauge and use a dremel and file to make into dimple flags.

How are those working out on dimple locks? I've never seen that set before but it's ugly. Just because it's ugly doesn't mean it isn't functional; how is its functionality is my question?

I just recently ordered them, So they haven't arrived.. I did do considerable research before ordering them .. For the price everything I read leads to them being decent tools (With some clean up of course).
