This would have been easier as a poll... and I think it's been done before. But... I'm a hook man myself. Which hook depends on the lock.

Peterson short hook on anything it fits easily into, Peterson diamond on keyways that are just a little comfortable with the hook, and the HPC diamond on smaller keyways and padlocks.

I'll second that one! I ususally try at it with the diamond first, go to the hook. The snake rake is mostly used for wafer / disc tumblers [cheap locks]. ~Grit.

I have to say half circle picks. they run smother on the pins and feel better in my hand as I rake and just pick pins individually.
