Sorry about the wait but I had a lot to try out :lol:


Oriental Jiggler Pick
- Nice picks for oriental cars. I liked the fact that they are actual lockpicks for cars and not 100% jigglers like on the Southourd websitesite. They work great with the Peterson Double Prongged tensioner
PETERSON BUMP HAMMER GRAY
-This hammer is amazing. It has seriously improved my bumping 100%. I got the tip from Fizz to get the gray one(most flexible) because he went to a meeting with Ken Peterson and said he had the most sucess rate with it. I love it. I will never go back to a screwdriver. If you dislike bumping don't post about it. I don't care.
Adams Rite Slim Jim
-Waste of money. Not nearly long enough.I would go into more details but this is a public post.
5 PC WARDED Rivet lock Picks
-Work great for the most used warded locks and that is why I bought them.(Master warded locks)
KPS-15, Ken's Mid Range Pick Set
(Flat 5 tension tools, Slender Gem,Saw Tip Extractor, 5 textured picks and deep cut access picks.

Great set for the price. The flat 5 tension tools are awesome. I enjoy the springy flat 5's the most for feel but it is personal preference. The slender Gem is very very thin. It should work great for euro keyways if any of you are interested in trying them out. The extractor should come in handy one day I hope. The DCAP picks work great for those stubbborn high low keyways and give good reach. The textured picks in my opinion are ok but I find them sticky to the touch and prefer the plastic picks more for feel and comfort. The textured handels almost feel as if juice were spilled on your picks. Some people love them but I prefer plastic and there is no need to defend them because they are nice picks and it all comes down to the individual.
Peterson Pry Bar
Great for big locks and unlatching sticky deadbolts if you pick mounted locks or are a locksmith.
Three Serrated Tension Tools
Great tension tools and a good buy. If you still enjoy bottom tension on certain locks and don't want that stupid wrench to slip get these!
The Double Prong Pair
Great automotive tensioner. Can be used on some keyways but it can be limited due to the size of the lock in question.
Lifter Pick-$14.00
Great little hook for grabbing pins individually. It should come in handy on a few medeco's I want to repin to 1-2 pins with a sidebar. You can feel it almost grab the pin.

For the picks as said before I prefer the plastic for SPP. I enjoy the rubber the most for rakes. More comfortable and no need to feel the pins while raking in some cases.

Shipping
-Fast 10 days.Nice Work. I had to pay import tax which cost me 50$ and royally p8sed me off but that has nothing to do with Peterson I believe.

Customer Fufillment
- Very proffesional company no questions asked. Package was labbled hand tools. I would deal with them again.

Rating out of 10
9 out of 10 due to the fact the slim jim was a pointless purchase and Ken did not hand sand my picks for me. They come fairly jaged and for sure NEED SANDING. SAND YOUR PICKS

Bumpit Out.


Do not post until pictures are uploaded pleese.

Yes It was early in the morning and I took the pictures right away while in a blanket and boxers :roll: I also made 3 videos with my new toys if you would let to check them out. The first video is my first serious video where I try to teach people things and I was nervous so pleese inform me if I said anything stupid or incorrect. The next two were for fun 8)

Umm sorry about the double(same) post and if a mod could somehow edit the words on the picture to make them line up with the picture then that mod would be the greatest.

You should not be playing inside your car door with any tool and not enough knowledge about the inside of that particular brand of vehicule. Pretty easy to bust something up :)

How thick are the DCAP tools anyways? Same as the slender gems? I'm looking for a pick tool that will make life easier when picking a Abus Buffo style lock.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Nice

Nice setup. I always say you never can have to many tools especially the lockpicks, I have gone thru quite a few lockpicks myself thru the years of use. It will pay off in the long run to keep your supply up like that, it's a very smart move.

Peterson Tools For UK Pickers

Postby Cherokee » 14 Aug 2007 15:08

For those of us in the UK I have picks from Peterson's and found the service first class, prompt delivery (less than 14 days).

All you need is a credit card and a straight forward online transaction.

Brillant tools - but not allways suitable for narrower euro keyways - good to have in your kit though.

Kind Regards,
Cherokee 8)
