No. I think they're probably fine in comparison to something like a SouthOrd set... but I wouldn't say that they're comparable to a upper-end commercially-produced set (
e.g., something like a Peterson set). But, you'd also pay about four times as much for a Peterson set, so I'd say that they're good value for the money. (And there are some extremely talented folks on this board: if you look around at some of the homemade picks that they're making, you'll find that they leave many of the retail picksets in the dust.)

The guides that you can find on-line vary a great deal in quality (and I'm not sure which locks you've been trying to pick) but have a look at the links that I posted above: you may be pleasantly surprised at how much good advice is there. One observation that your comment raises, though, is that you may have been using
way too much force in your single-pin picking if you've been breaking and bending your SouthOrd picks.
As an aside, just one friendly request: a lot of the users on this site didn't learn English as their first language.
Nobody here is trying to be the grammar police, but if you punctuate your posts and try to avoid "text message" short-forms you'll find that you'll get a lot more help -- mostly because many more people from other places will be able to understand your questions. (And I honestly try to practice what I preach in that regard: I typed my earlier post entirely on my cellphone, including the web page links... it takes an extra minute or two, but it really does make a difference.)
