Pick cases

I love quality stuff, Made In USA, Made In England, Made In Germany, Made In Switzerland ... those sort of words on the product to me are usually synonymous with quality goods. I spend extra to buy good tools and quality items but buy less than I used to as quality doesn't come cheap.

However while looking at websites that are from manufacturers of Made In USA products I stumbled across a company tat makes nice leather products at a reasonable cost. Their knife cases might make nice, long lasting pick cases, or holders for other small locksmith tools.

i like your way of thinking! im in the same, more than happy to shell out more money for something nicer. im however a big fan of petersons pick cases, i just find it unfortunate of some of his pricing, the pick cases went from $35 to $50, and he even has one that isnt even leather for $100. im to the point that im considering going to a leather making and paying $100 or more for a custom one. and getting my name burned or carved into the leather, maybe a floral or dragon design. great find! they look nice, and for a great price too! thank you.

The first few picks I bought I got individually because I didn't want a giant useless set, I decided not to order a case with them to save 20$ boy was that a mistake I learned from.

Actually I'm usually in a hurry and I prever mine all tossed into the same box, so I can just pick out what I need,
without having to look all over through cases, trying to find it. I wouldn't give away my cases though

i did the same thing, i was a shop locksmith, never really went out on the road, so it was easier to just have a very small tackle box or tool box to throw all the tools in, and the lock picks were in the top tray. i had the outside pin stripped to say 'Easy Pickins' lol.
