Snake/Rake Pick Identification

[pigeonofdespair]

Hi Guys,

This is a pick identification thread. I'm new to picking but I think others would benefit from this as well.

Could we identify the names of these snake picks, and what locks they are commonly associated with picking.

These snake picks come in the Southord MPXS-20.

half of em aren't snake picks.

The third from the left and last two are rakes.

I think the only one that is a snake is the first one in the picture. I could be wrong, never owned one, never used one, don't own manufactured by company picks.

Sorry I can't give you any further assistance, I don't want to say a definate lock company and find out that its just that particular lock I own that a rake is good on .

First pick is a 'C' rake.

Second is too blurry to comment.

Third is an 'S' rake.

Fourth is too blurry to comment.

Fifth is an 'L'rake, or sawtoothed rake as it is also known.

Sixth is essentialy a double sided 'S' rake.. Probably has a half diamond on the other end, does it not?

Also if you look arounf there are a few threads on what picks are called, what they are commonly used for and how to use them.

actually...arent number 4 and 6 broken key extractors? thats what i thought...cuz the handle is thin and it looks double ended. thats what I* thought.

you can always just go onto southord.com and look through their single picks- they catalog single picks for sale and they are labeled (im pretty sure at least) and then you can just match yours to theirs.


maybe im wrong...but thats what i think.

yup...here ya go:

thats where the individual picks start (kinda near the bottom) and im not too sure how many pages it is...but i think they're all there. the piece number is there (not that helpful) and also the TYPE of pick it is is listed, by clicking on the picture of the pick (lol...pic of pick) it will display a slightly larger one. that could work for verification purposes, could take time... but it is a surefire way of identifying your specific picks.

good luck!
