Mine were $20AU and yeah, about a hundred pieces or something, most of which are the discs etc that you need.
I think this is the set from Bunnings, I've also seen the same set at Big W.
Excellent value at $20.

This cost me $7.00 (well, $6.99) AUD. 125 piece set. 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

I've just phoned the Gold Coast's finest and reported you for theft - that's an absolute steal.
Bugger, mine doesn't appear to be "excellent value" any more.

How much did they cost you individually? Nice bench grinder too.

lol i will when the rain dies down so i can go out side (dont want to start my making picks and burn the house down  ) but soon you will see my first home made picks.
P.S. how much of a hacksaw blade do you use per pick (my blade is 30cm long x 3 = 3, 10cm picks is that ok?)

Have you got a case for them yet? If so, work off that (case = 10cm high, make 10cm picks, etc.). Otherwise, three picks per blade is fine.
I like to have the hole at the bottom of each pick, so you may want to make two picks and two wrenches per blade. The two picks come from each end of the hacksaw blade and the two wrenches come from the middle section cut in half length-ways (the width of a junior hacksaw blade).
