Just wanted to make abundantly clear something that is close to me. My last couple posts mentioned several people.
My picks that I use on a daily basis span a very broad spectrum, both from commerically made to made by professional hobbyist. I think it's important to identify and separate those because unlike commercially made picks, professional hobbyists hand craft each pick personally. So there's a certain amount of personability of that person that goes into each. And because they are personal, a great deal of satisfaction is felt knowing that someone is going to really REALLY enjoy getting their hands on something you put time and effort in. It's important to recognize these differences. As such, please see below list accordingly:
SO - 14pc
HPC - 64pc
Peterson International - "Mini G4 Set" (Does not include DAMES or Adams Trip Wire Set)
Bogotas - Raimundo (ain't a lock i found that this tool can't open)
Custom Set - Locknewbie (drool factor in effect)
I trust all the picks I own equally, but favor some over others based on experience. However, my custom picks that I have received from those on this forum hold something special to me because they gave their time so I could have something of them, and for that I am so much more fortunate for have knowing them. My apologies if I have left anyone out who has contributed to my pick collection.
