I can say yes but you will struggle to pick anything with a tight key way.

Most places that sell them they will just be one of a thousand products they sell. Chances are they haven't got a clue about the product. They are far from useless but a lot of euro cylinders will have key ways you will struggle with. ive got most of the standard sized picks they do and they hardy get used.

Ass said u can grind them down as well. a lot of them will be duplicates so just grind down them and you will basically have the complete SO range.

But you tell us. how have you been getting on with them?

All the best

I just send an email to store to change the standar 32 kit with a slimline 22 kit because the price is the same...

mainly because if you need them you NEED them so they can charge more.

I guess they see it as a specialty pick tool so that may be another reason they charge more. Although in Europe it wouldn't make any sense because it would be more of a standard pick set and the bigger ones a specialty set, which you don't really need if you have the slimlines already.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
