The best pick case?

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.

I was actually looking for a new case the other day for my wondermous ginormous pick set. Haven't found anything particular that I like just yet because I have SO, HPC, Peterson, LN21, Raimundo and some makeshift picks to load into it.

One of the things I was looking at, if you're looking for ruggedness, though a bit cluttered, would be an iPod pelican case. Talk about standing up under pressure!!!!

The velcro part of my tri-fold case is starting to get loose and I'll probably try to sew it up and mend it a little bit soon. But this is from using the case for work, as a hobbyist I doubt you'll run into problems like this too often.


I managed to put a small rip in mine the first week I had it. then the "made in india" bit fell off. trying to cover its tracks...


Yeah that india label just fell off of mines too.

Looks a bit unorganised though, dont you think? what if it was -20 degrees outside and you had to unlock the door but couldnt find your desired pick. Heh that would suck :s

I've been a member here for quite some time, haven't really posted much though. My pick collection is very small, but it's all I really need for all the picking I do. I made the case from leather I picked up at Hobby Lobby. Only one pocket, but it fits well in my back pocket whenever I take it with me.

It is a Peterson Tri-Fold that I bought from them about 3 or 4 years ago... Not sure if it is cow or lambskin, but it has held up extremely well and I have never found a better case IMO after several commercial and home-brew options I have had in the past...
