Half diamond is mine.

I really liked my half diamond until I got better with my short hook. Before that, I liked my snake rake. I'm actually faster with the hook now though.

I like the hook best now, it gives the best feel for individual pins.
But if I feel all the pins are set with the hook, but it won't turn, I grab the diamond and use it to lightly rake the pins until it turns. Seems really handy for that.

i used to prefer the diamond too, but now that i've become proficient with my short hook, i rarely touch my diamond pick unless it's to push the last pin in the chamber down...

Half hook is my favourite for cylinders with paddle pick (snowman?) for wafers

Im a half - diamond kinda guy, i often switch between my half diamond and hook, but 99 % its my half-diamond. If the look feels like its all picked but it won't i usually find a pin thats hard to push up and i lightly stroke that pin with the diamond and POP.

I like the half diamond because i can rake and single pick the lock with the same pick.

I use to use the half diamond but I started using the half hook and got better and I got feel better so half hook is my favorite.

i used to be a half diamond guy, but i tore myself away from it and only used the half hook for picking because i felt i was just fooling around with the half diamond, and not realy picking. I felt that i wasnt having enough control over the pick, and wanted to get rid of bad habits before i hit high security locks, and could individual-pin-pick. since then i always go for the half hook, should try the half diamond and see if ive still got it :wink:

I like the half dimond on some locks, and hook on others. It may change to the hooked-dimond i've heard of once I make one but right now I like both hook and dimond.
