Anything other than Southord for UK?

Short of importing, is there any (online) providers for other makes of lockpicks?

I'm quite content with my Southord and home made kits, but they don't half dig into your fingers :?

http://www.locksmith-tools.co.uk/ just has southord, and the second link only leads to american only sites that supply anything other than southord.

The quest continues...

Everyone to their own about staying loyal to UK sistes but most of the tools are made in the USA anyways. I've ordered from lockpicks.com (Also have Peterson/HPC - both VERY nice tools) and southord.com maybe 6 times in total with them delivering in around 3 days to the UK.

Southord is where i got a lot of tools from but just watchout for import tax and vat which i got hit with when it entered the country.It still worked out cheaper as i had order a lot but for smaller items it maybe worth trying uk sites.

If you find Southord picks uncomfortable to hold, you can get slip on vinyl sleeves from:

They are cheap and make using picks more of a pleasure.

I hate those things. If you find Southord picks uncomfortable to hold, adjust your grip technique. If you still find them uncomfortable to hold, just buy the handled ones. If you find THOSE uncomfortable, just get a new hobby.

I put some cloth tape on the handles to stop the slip but still get good finger feed back. :D
I pick in the dark.
