I have taken high resolution scans of the picks and torque tools next to reference rulers for the purpose of making templates, etc. The scans are at 600dpi, and are likely of higher resolution than necessary for any purpose. The file sizes are quite large (18.8MB and 17.3MB for the picks and torque tools respectively), and I currently don't have a place to host them (any takers?). But here are low resolution thumbnails at 10% of the original size:

Contents of US Falle-Safe Securities Basic Picking Kit:
6 deep curves (3 different, each with doubles)
6 graduated curves (3 different, each with doubles)
3 progressive curves (all different)
2 thin curves (different)
3 Rakes (all different)
6 fixed torque tools (all different)
4 adjustable torque tools (all "different")
16 strip torque tools, 8 straight 8 twisted (4 different sizes, 2 straight and 2 twisted of each size)
All of the torque tools are stainless steel, and the picks are nickle-plated carbon spring steel.
Measurements
All measurements are in mils (1mil = 0.001in), taken to the nearest mil. I report my actual measurements, which may be off by up to 1mils.
Thickness of the metal used in all picks and torque tools is 24mils.
Conventional Torque Tools
The conventional torque tools are very similar to windshield wiper blade inserts. They come twisted and straight, in four different blade sizes, reported below.

Thickness Width
30 90
31 101
31 110
30 121
Fixed Torque Tools
There are six different double ended fixed torque tools. The difference in the ends is where the narrow and wide prongs are, such that using one end will have the tool extending up when inserted in a lock, while the other end will have it extended down.

Fixed Torque Tools - Prong Widths
No. Wide Narrow
1: 44 100
2: 49 96
3: 51 102
4: 43 88
5: 51 98
6: 69 100
Adjustable Torque Tools
The adjustable torque tools are made up of an "outer" part (either A or B), and an "inner" part (1 or 2), held together by two screws with a washer and nut. The four adjustable torque tools in the kit are just permutations of these 4 different components (A1, A2, B1, B2). The prong widths are reported below. Within an error of a few mils, there are 2 different prong widths each for wide and narrow. These allow for an arrangement of 4 possible combinations, which are provided by the adjustable tools, although the same "up" and "down" combination of wide and short are not provided on the same tool. For example, "wide A" & "narrow 1" are the same as "wide 2" & "narrow A", but in one configuration the tool will point up when inserted in the lock, while in the other the tool will point down. By mixing the prong widths into the parts A, B, 1 and 2, only 4 total components need to be manufactured, while if the "up" and "down" configurations of given "wide" and "narrow" prongs were on the same tool (as in the fixed torque tools), a total of 8 components would need to be manufactured.

Any other measurements should be obtainable through the high resolution scans (no host as of yet).
I know some of you will make good use of this information, but please do not copy anything posted here outside of the forum. Enjoy.
