You'd do well to buy some majestic computer generated picks - they work well and it willl introduce you to a new method of picking.

You could pick yourself up a electric pick gun there are several on the market at the moment.
Or you could get yourself a manual pick gun both come in usefull when encountering diffrent types of locks.
