If you already have a short hook and damiond I would say get a snake rake,ball or half ball mabey even a double ball,a short flat tension wrench and a short twistflex tension wrench.

Search for beginner pickset. There are dozens of these threads already. At least 3 new ones in the last 2 weeks.

I pick most locks with my Peterson Pry Bar flat tension wrench and a short hook pick. Thats all you really need for almost everything they sell at hardware stores.

I find a small diamond, a small hook and a snake, along with a double ended tension wrench with one end ground narrower that the other end
