I was on the southord site and found a 32 piece lock pick set for $43 (the normal cost is between $75 and $80), but it also said it was blemished. Has anyone ever bought something from southord that had a blemish? Should I take the chance? Any advice would be helpful.

Picks with cosmetic flaws that they sell isnt a big deal usually. I got a 32 piece set from a different company before that was marked for "liquidation". Everything came in perfect condition except for a slightly warped broken key extractor and rake pick with some strange hardened clear goo on it.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

I recently placed an order for a set of blemished picks. It arrived four days after I ordered, and when they got here I couldn't even find any blemishes in them; they seem great and are working well.

The "blemish" jacknife I got from them had 2 small scratches on the back. I put more on it the first time I put it in my pocket with keys.
