You should spend $40 and get the Just Picks Stainless Slender, or spend $125 and get the Elite II set. After you try out both foam and rubber handles you'll be able to make a better decision. I have a set with the blue hard plastic handles, but I no longer like those handles and prefer the black rubber ones.

Personally, when I reach for picks this is the order: Raimundo's Bogota Rakes, Peterson, HPC, Southord, 24 volt DeWalt.

good luck with your purchase

thanks for the heads up.

ive already bought a couple peterson picks so i could bust the aperican 5200, they worked amazingly but i hade to file my own tension wrench out of a nail. (also works amazingly)

the reason itll cost so much is for his bypass kit. seems fun to play with atleast.

plus im gonna file some half diamonds down into a few different stiles for high security purposes.

im not a big fan of the rake but ive herd good things about bogatas so i guess nows the time to look at em more huh

anyways thanks
