Try and contact the place that you ordered them from and they may be able to change your oredr before it is posted?

Keep them! Just buy another set, they will come in use eventually.

Generaly speaking they are not just thinner but also a little smaller.

Example: My SouthOrd hook is about 1/4" high and about 1/8" thick
Slimlike pick is about 1/8" high and about 1/12" thick.

So they are not just thinner, they are often also a bit less "fat".

Which set is it? Maybe I can buy them from you if you want to get rid of them? :D

hey peoples, doesn't it seem like a good idea to buy some of these for padlocks, if they are a little shorter, that seems like it would be nice for some locks.
