Check out our new picks from lockmasters for our meetings this year.

These new lockmasters picks are a real upgrade from the picks we sold last year. We are very excited. Let me know what you think.

How is the handles for those picks working for you guys? I personally don't like them cos they look kinda bulky and maybe cumbersome to use.

The handles are definitely the most comfortable fit of any i've used to date. As for the size, I feel it gives you better control. My only concern is giving such nice picks to beginners, I remember not so fondly how I destroyed more than a few of my first picks before I learned to lay off the excessive force :D

those are nice, but i think they are too big to carry around, they wouldn't fit in a standard case and you would need a tool box or something to carry them around it

but nice ergonomic alum. handles!

Yeah that would be my concern too. I love my Peterson Tri-fold case, the best case I've ever seen and used so if it doesn't fit in there I don't really want it seeing that I already have too many different tool cases in my service van and my pockets.

thick

Postby raimundo » 25 Oct 2007 8:48

I guess with thick handles, you would not get so many picks into a commercial pickcase. but that only means less to lose or have to keep trakck of.

If I remember correctly, those Lockmasters picks have a Lifetime warranty too, right?

Does that mean they replace them if you break them?

That might be good for new pickers.

They look great. I like those "bulky" handles. Easier to manipulate I think.

Here is a quote from my contact at lockmasters "Lifetime warranty means if you break it under normal use or conditions we will replace it. If someone abuses it they will not get it replaced."
