I don't have the Dino pick set but I do have the Dino Plug Spinner and Auto tension wrench. Both are fine tools I use regularly at work.

Are you asking about the Dino set that is similar to the brockhage navigator set? If so then yes they are nice picks. It includes a set of picks for the MulTLock pin in pin system. Some of the picks and rakes however are too thick for most locks. If you are in fact looking at the dino set that is like the navigator set then yes they are comfortable and are a nice set of picks.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

The blue handled ones he posted are also Dino and the same thing Lockmasters sells under the lockmaster name. The sell the Navigator set too.

I like the Dino picks, they are the ones we give to our new L.I members. Very high quality. The blue alum handles are neat.

Actually, mine fit perfectly in the individual slots of the Peterson tri-fold case I just bought.
