Are these picks good?

Postby haykuro » 1 May 2010 11:57

So I'm looking for some new picks (i'm currently using a crappy portable set, but it's served me well)..

I found these now and was curious if they're good?

For $20, a Peterson sets seems to be highest quality (from what I've read), it sounds like a great deal to me.

If not I was just going to move from my KGB-7 pick set for a Southord jackknife set..

Thoughts?

Hi Haykuro, If the picktools you are using serve you well, stick with it. you know what matter is? Is your familiarization on the tool, and it effectiveness that respond to your lockpicking level. If you want to advance, go for it.. buy a set that will serve you well. for a brand you have hundreds of options. use common sense in picking one. regards.
