Already serached the forums and found nothing, so this is probably the first.
Does anyone have ane expierience with these pen pick sets as show on the middle of

or

Note: I am not talking about these Kwik picks, but the pen picks.

They apparenatly offer 9 picks from the southord, but only 3 picks from the Spy Mall brand. Unless I want to look like James Bond, do these pick sets offer any functionality or are they just a waste of money.

Spy shops generally have inflated prices for picks. I would suggest sticking with traditional picks, at least when you are learning.

The HPC one looks good, alas expensive.

I've had two different pen sets and I hate them both. Ususally the picks can't be fastened securely in the tip and move a little bit up and down, which is very anoying while working with a hook.
I think it's just like the pocket knife sets, about which we told people who wanted to buy them from our clubs stand at a convention:
"If you want to be cool, you'll have to buy these, but if you really want to pick, you should get a normal pick set".

I would add that those picks give very bad feedback because they are loosly mouted. Stick with a regular pickset if you wat to pick.
