Just ordered some Petersons

I just ordered some Peterson lock picks, this is my 3 lock pick set, so I decided to go for a good brand. How do you people find these ? I heard they have great feedback and are comfy in the hands. I also ordered a special case for them, i'll post some pics when I get them

Please do post some pics when after you recieve and use them of course... I love new toys, rushing to get the package open to play...LoL.

If they turn out to feel and work as good as they look I just might put me an order through in the future.

Have fun.

How do we find them? What do you mean--where do we get them? Well, the best place is probably lockpicks.com right now; they ought to be able to get pretty much everything peterson makes, even if it's not necessarily listed on their site (just ask them, I've heard they're accomodating to such requests). Same thing goes for HPC gear, they ought to be able to get just about anything they make as well.

I meant, how do you like their feedback, comfortability etc.

I love them.
I first made my picks out of hacksaw blades, and they would eventually wear out. So I decided after picking a lock 10x (I had just started picking), I would invest in some real picks. I got peterson's with the rubber handles. I have heard the plastic handle is best for feedback, but I don't have any problems with the rubber. They are INCREDIBLE!!!. I have given them the same treatment my original picks got, for longer, and they still perform just like new. Actually better, to be honest. That's the one problem with them. When they're brand new, the edges are sharp, and the sides where the cut was made in the sheet of metal to make them had small serrations, which I believe are from a CNC plasma cutter. But as I said these wear down, and smooth themselves out. If you wanted, you could expediate the process with sandpaper. Also, the black coating on the picks will wear off. At least mine did from rubbing against the keyway. Doesn't affect anything. Comfort wise, I've never had a problem.
