Peterson Bi-Fold

Postby Luke » 22 Jan 2004 0:35

Alright folks, i got my peterson Bi-Fold today. Now let's see the picks are real nice - plastic handles and handless. Hate to say it I love em. Comfortable and easy to bend back if u ACCEDENTLY bend em.
I have only one little problem. Instead of giving u tension wrenches they give u strips of metal and a bending tool, the problem is that the pieces of
metal are toooo wide, i mean tommorow im gonna file a piece down and make a nice twist flex wrench but before i do that the metal is just too WIDE. Ive stuck just a L wrench which i never use from my MPXS 32 for the time being ( im a lover of twist flex ) But thats just my little rant about peterson. In short Picks = good Strips of metal = TOOOOOOOOO Wide

THe Peterson tension tools come in a variety of widths . I also got predominately the wide ones with my set. They take a fair bit of getting used to, but you will find that for a great many locks they arent too wide at all.

Not sure, the web site doesn't say anything about civilians not being able to order from them so I would imagine that it wouldn't be a problem. I got my set from lockpicks.com.
