If someone would be so kind to take a picture of a Peterson pick beside a ruler I would be very happy. Just want to see how big they will be. Im going to try and make a case.

Measuring a plastic Peterson hook:

handle: ~8 cm
pick shaft and tip: ~4.25 cm
handle thickness: ~0.4 cm

Measuring Peterson pick (exact, in inches):
Handle thickness: .470"
Handle length: 3.127"
Shaft length: 1.656"
Overall lenght: 4.792"
Length of 7 Picks in a row (7 picks is usually a "just picks" set): 3.347"
I currently use a HPC case that is 2.5" wide and 5.25" long, they fit my Petersons snugly. There are 3 picks stacked on top of 4. The 3 I use most are on top.

I've seen a case that rolls up before somewhere but I cant seem to find it, does anyone know what Im talking about?

This was originally for jig saw blades. I bought the blades mostly because I wanted the case. Now my homemade set resides in it, which in turn resides in my truck.

Rolls up nicely.

I would also like to know the distance between the stiching AKA where the picks are inserted.

As wide as you need to fit your picks?

Well the peterson picks have handels so......I was just wondering....

Really, throw your picks down on some cloth and give it a shot. You may find that you need a much looser pouch for the petersons with rubber handles, as friction may keep them more snugly in certain materials. Also, the space between stitching is meaningless if you slightly tent the fabric, so as to allow more room in each pouch.

Well, I havent got them yet, I should get them today though. Ill post a pic of the case If I manage to make it.

If you haven't gotten your Petersons... I would hold off on making a case. The picks come in a very sturdy plastic tube that acts as a great case.

by **eatjiggy** » 13 Oct 2005 16:12

Well I got them today......every single one of them Is bent, well atleast the handles are.
