Is SouthOrd a respectable brand?

[spartan76092]

I have the 14 pick set. I think. I don't use it much, but when I do it always works. I am very glad I purchased it and it is really fun to show friends.

Aye, cant really knock SO there slim line dental half ball nees a thicker neck though (maybe my ham fisted picking)

I have a few items from So and must say am pleased with them all.
But to echo other posts you cant beat making/using your own tools that you have made and tweeked.

I would always recommend SO to any picker, newb og pro. You get bang for your buck. Be aware of copies/fake SO produkts though. SO adress this problem on their website.

I got the PSX-14 14 peice set from

http://www.netlinkenterprises.com/secur ... rod=PXS-14

for $25.98 out the door. $19.99 and $5.99 shipping. Not bad. What I really liked was it comes with 4 tension bars. Those are almost as important as the picks. The $12 n00b sets usually just have one tension bar. I probably won't ever use all of the 9 pics it comes with, but it's nice for a newbie to not start out handicaped by bad tools. The junk 4 piece sets are like starting out learning from a book that has pages missing. Might as well use paperclips, you'll have more options.. - Joe

Southord lockpicks are pretty darn good compared to some other brands I have used.

My PSX-14 set arrived. Getting the little plastic handles on was a pain, but no biggie. I set them in hot water which might've helped. What really helped was I found I could wedge the pick between the handles of a pair of pliars I have, up near the hinge, then really shove on it without risk of skewering myself. Their Top Grain Cowhide case is a joke. Picture the case that comes with a $2 knife at the gun show, or maybe a flea market and you'll get the idea. The selection of tools is decent. It's got a little bit of everything. All in all I like it! - Joe

Oh, if you can take a picture of this case, I would love to see it. It sounds pretty bad. Not at all what I would have expected.

seems the general consensus is that southord= decent.

did we get a final answer on whether or not they ship to Canada?

just my experience, but I've never used more than a small diamond and an S-rake... once I stopped drilling locks for kicks that is.

happy picking!

[UWSDWF]

yes they do ship to canada

[ldnlksmth]

Just went to their site, apparently, shipping has been suspended across the border. what a bummer.

[Romstar]

Its been saying that forever. E-mail them, call them or place an order. They will be happy to ship to you.

Romstar

[ldnlksmth]

did that, they don't ship here anymore. Something about customs BS not being worth their time.

oh well, any other good manufacturers that DO ship to Canada?

Hello world!

PXS-14 are the only lockpicking tools I own besides a few homemade padlock shims. They work great for me; I havn't come across a lock of it's purpose that I couldn't open. The long jag pick did break, probably in my newbish fury
