Peterson Flat 5 Dimensions

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.

Would anyone with the Flat 5 tools be able to do a quick measurment for me?

I'm just wondering how long the blue line that I've drawn is, if that makes sense

Thanks!

The wrenches are of varied sizes to help accommodate different keyways.
I took some pictures next to a ruler. Hope this helps you.

If there's some other way I can help, just ask.

That shows just what I wanted, thank you!

I had been hoping the largest tool would be wider than 1/8" ... oh well.

I'll probably end up buying them some time down the road anyway -- I'm finding myself more and more in favor of flat tension tools.

Those wrenches are great. It's perfect for keyways where the Pry Bar cant fit into or is so worn out that it cant get a firm grip. It helped me out three time already during my past few home lockout jobs.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
