Ideal Pocket-Sized Pick Set

[scampdog]

the computer picks, are just shaped with a dremel tool, and finished off with different grades of wet and dry. the springs in the dryers, are used to rewind the hanging lines when not in use.

Interesting! I shall try to make a few and see how they work.
A general purpose double sided rake can be found as pereviously mentioned by ripping out the metal clip from an 'artline' felt tip pen. The silver clip, when hammered flat, makes a very good pick.

those pocket clip pens. they come in all sizes.

There are lots of pocket-clip pens. Care to be more specific? Pentel? Uniball? Parker? I somehow find it hard to believe you can fit several (or even any) picks inside one of those Bic Stics.

i am talking about the thin two sided picks that come in the southord,hpc , rytan etc. there thin you could fit four of them in any pen i consider the average bic a thin pen but you will get a bunch in there with no problem.

Has anyone tried this "James Bond" credit card set? They look good except for how short they are. (Half way down the page)

There are also some other interesting tools on that page like the "Do it yourself" pickset for $10. It's a set of 6 nice reinforced handle picks that let you cut the end down to your own needs.

Theres been a discussion on here about that set somewhere, the general concensus was that they are vastly over priced and not very useful due to thier size,

I agree, they do seem very compact for carrying in a wallet, but the size of the picks concerns me.

1) Comfortability
2) Feedback

The Credit Card Set from Southern Specialties is a good pocket set. I use it and really enjoy its ease of transport.

i have the set. i put it in my wallet and forget about them if something comes up when i'm out somewhere i pull them out. i like them better then then the jacknife. its like a southord with a inch or so cut of the handle.
