Actually i dont since its forbidden by law to carry picks in public here in sweden. But um.... when i do occasionally i carry them in a leather wallet iv made.

Lockpicks.com carries a small lockpick set made by HPC where the case is an actual wallet shown here, http://www.lockpicks.com/index.asp?Page ... &ProdID=71 . I bought this a few years ago but my desire to carry pick tools with me kinda died down by the time high school came to an end. So now I just put the picks in a small leather case made for holding memory cards for digital cameras and have it stashed away as a set for emergency use.

personally i don't carry any on a regular basis, but i have a cigar tin that i keep my frequently used ones in. (the metal tube that a decent cigar arrives in.)

a LEO friend pointed out over discussion of my hobby that carrying them concealed/disguised could be enough in many jurisdictions to consider them buglary tools.

i.e the various marker hollow outs if not labeled are probably not a good idea. of course if you're storing them with other re pourposed storage things then you've got a solid defense, but if you're actively hiding them it's not a good thing.

it's a majestic pick in a bic stick pen. the cap covers the pick so it dosn't stab my leg and it fits snugly on the front, and back when in use. still trying to find a way to fit my tension wrench (wiper insert that i've been using forever) in there.

[thubanpete]

IMHO, that's a fairly cleaver way to carry a pick. On the down side (and as was pointed out by unjust) that could be considered a method of concealment and thusly be considered as thieves tools. All I can say is, please be careful with it...and how you use it.

I've found pencil cases make great cases for lock picks. Take a look, for example, at these:

I'm sure you've got an art supply store in your area. Check out the cases they have.

While you're there, check out some of the other supplies they have. Wander through the clay modeling section. I've found some excellent items that can be modified for use, such as a mini-knife for the MasterLock 175 bypass.

Today at the thrift store I saw a whole bunch of eye glass carriers,they where hard plasic,and alot like cigar containers which was sugested earlyer.
I turned a knife that comes in a nail cutter set into a pick there are three different blades,turned into picks.
And a small tention wrench I keep in my wallet/chech book.
I'll probably never use them but , just in case.

i just ordered one of those peterson tri fold cases, (really nice)

[quote="gostone"]I have several cases, and picksets, about six actually - but here are my favorites. One is a handmade case that carry's a very comprehensive set of tools and a plug spinner, all fitting into my shirt pocket. The second is a modified marker, that carries a complete set of 7 double sided picks, so 14 picks in a marker, with a set of flat five, and HPC tension tools in my wallet.
cheers

I really like your double ended picks. I've looked but not been able to find them. Hint, please.

For my homebrew set, I use the pill bottle seen in this picture.

But for my Commercial 32 pc HPC set, I use the case they came in. Unless I only want to carry a couple of picks, then I use a leather case that some cheap darts came in. The dart case is almost exactly like the leather case that a set of 13pc. HPC pick sets comes in.
