Is this a good deal on new picks?

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Is this a good deal on new picks?

I would do the same but if its possible I would make a set while you wait for your pro set to come or while you save for a kit, good luck either way :)
