That's apparently not good enough for more delicate work with security pins. At least not from what I'm seeing. The improvement is phenomenal. I've been playing with security pins for a couple of weeks and I've been having trouble getting single pins to set without bumping another past its shear line. The slim line picks are much easier to squeeze into spaces where theres a sudden increase in pin height. 1 and 2 security pins havent been a problem even with the regular southord hook, but 3-4 is darn near impossible. There are 4 shapes of hooks for the slim lines with progrssive changes in angle and depth that help apply pressure to the easier pins and still be able to diddle the more difficult pins way way in the back. I'm no longer a fan of scrubbing, but the rakes look pretty cool. If I had known how much I was going to like these, I would have bought them long, long ago. They don't appear to be made from thinner material, but there's less material in the business end.
Now if I can only figure out how to get a mushroom pin to catch right when it's the last pin that binds. :/ But that's a different thread.
I think I'll order a couple of peterson picks next. I'm curious about the 'peterson steel' they're bragging about. I wonder if Rearden has heard about this.
