I bought a slider from Southern specialties a few years ago and have been quite pleased with it

I just ordered a cr@p load of stuff from Southern Specialty including this high quality folding pick set, not to be confused with novelty items found else where,

I can't wait to get it I also orderd a med hook for it to replace the ball pick which I never use.

They do ship fast, same day! Since I just ordered it yesterday and yesterday was a US holiday it went out today. They have some interesting stuff for sure. I will be ordering more stuff from them if they come thru for me, which I'm sure they will, I spoke to them on the phone and they are very friendly and helpful.

These folding picksets aren't the most comfortable or the easiest things to use. They lack the response and feel of a real pick. I still think that they are more for the looks than effectiveness.

This one is suppose to be of higher quality and design. We'll see

If I can pick with my home made miniatures that fit in my wallet, this should be leagues better!

So I just had an amazing experience with Southern Specialties. I bought the KGB-7 concealable lock pick set a while ago. I was really happy with it. It's tiny, very portable, holds 5 picks and 2 wrenches together easily. The one issue was that it was a little bit small for actual use. I could pick with it no problem to be honest, but it would have been nicer if it were a little bigger.

Check out this awesome, elegant design:


So I emailed a suggestion to the company to make the same exact design but twice as big. I got an email back from the president that same day and he said he make me a custom set for a great deal. I told him he should offer the alternate size on the site. I hope they do. The new version is absolutely amazing. It folds up, has a rubber slip on case, holds a tension wrench to it, and it has plenty of handle room.

The nicest thing about this pick set above all other pocket pick sets is that the design does not remove any feeling in the pick. I've used jack knife pick sets before and their big, bulky handles make it really tough to feel the pins. With this set, you've got your hand right on the pick, not on some jack-knife handle.

I just wanted to share with everyone that Southern Specialties is a great company. I chatted with the president over a few emails and he says they're interested in making up some programs for LP-101 users, maybe prefered customer memberships with deals or free stuff. He was unsure which directions he was going to go at this moment.

So in short, I was psyched with my experience at Southern Specialties and this new pick set I got is really awesome.

Not involved with this company at all then?

Sorry, this just sounds like advertising to me.

I can vouch for Skippy. I work with him. Not that you have any reason to believe me but he definately is not involved with the company in any way other than the e-mails he mentioned.
