Hey Eric here,

if you have trouble putting the pick grips on southord sells 6 of the pick grips for $1.95.

p.s. i am only new to picking and i recently ordered the 14 piece pick set with grips.is it any good?

sorry dude, heard nothing but bad news bout those picks. They arent re-enforced, and are too floppy to control.

You should buy some individual re-enforced picks, and see if you like them. Ive got both, and i hardly touch the non-reenforced picks.

Sorry dude, just lettin others know

As usual, here I am to stand up for the non-handled pick. I much prefer them, have absolutely no problem controlling them, and find them superior in terms of feedback.

So Tech, I guess now you haven't heard "nothing but bad news" about them.

I started, and still continue to pick lots of locks with the 14 piece set with the rubber handles. I found the rubber handles themselves to be quite bothersome, so I never use them.

yea i just figured that there are many ways to put tension on the lock and not jammin it in the keyhole...im still a noob. But anyway i was lookin at my dad's craftsman too box thing(it's one of those huge red ones} and it has keyholes on it that are pretty big and look good to practice on. i think im gonna try em in a lil bit. in the keyhole theres like this little thing like a square in front of the pins, is it a safety device or wat?

It's a wafer lock (single).

by **Yep...ImAn00b** » 13 Apr 2004 20:59

it only has 1 pin?

by **Varjeal** » 13 Apr 2004 21:58

Most likely 5 wafers.

by **Yep...ImAn00b** » 14 Apr 2004 7:54

is it a good or bad lock to practice on?

by **Varjeal** » 14 Apr 2004 8:44

They are much easier than most 5 PIN locks, the problem with wafer locks is that they tend to have sloppy tolerances, and you can pick (sorry for the pun) up some bad habits. Go ahead and try it though. They make for good confidence locks.

Just be careful not to actually pick the tool box closed if you are not 100 percent sure you can pick it open again, or have the keys. Many people tend to loose the keys for things like tool boxes, desks, cabinets etc.

It's a wafer lock (single).

Sorry, my bad. I should have typed "It's a single wafer lock.", but even that is open to mis-interpretation.......

by **Yep...ImAn00b** » 14 Apr 2004 17:30

might as well try it since i cant pick hardly anything else

by **Yep...ImAn00b** » 14 Apr 2004 17:33
