MPXS 11, any one noticed this before?

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

So lukes talking about a bigger HALF diamond.

So i_want_to_pick, the diagram you posted is absolutely correct in terms of proper terminology. Whereas luke has chosen to call a big half diamond a 'full diamond'.

I thought so, but wasn't sure. Could get confusing for newbies like me when the same name is used for two different picks, or a different name for a bigger version of the same pick.

In my opinion, the large diamond that SouthOrd supplies in their sets like the SP-06 or the big one in the 22-Piece Slim Line set (C2010), is a full diamond. Yeah yeah yeah, truly not a 'full diamond' but a full diamond wouldn't be practical anyways. So I call the large diamond the full. The smaller and more common, the Half-Diamond.

...more 2 cents. Dave.
Never underestimate the half-diamond.

two diamond picks in a set

Postby raimundo » 23 Apr 2004 10:36

I am sure that the reason two identical pieces are in the set is because these are very popular among all the varieties and they include an extra one so you can bend or break off one and stillhave a back up
