the picks are probably acid etched, and in need of sanding,
A ball pick? WTF, a half diamond would be more useful.
there really is a short handle problem and you could probably improvise by shoving the short handle into a bic pen barrel, to make a nicer temporary handle. the pen would have to be semi flattended to put it in and that pressure would hold it steady.
why to the makers of these things use that rediculous tensor bar, the tensor could be cut L shaped into the edges of the card providing two to four tensors. such a tensor would also not need to be bent and would restore in the wallet flat.
Once this card is broken into pieces, its not going back together in a nice flat wallet pocket, but will be just flat pieces knocking around and doubleing up, Kevin would be better remembered if his website were on the pick handles rather than on the throwaway parts of the card.
I could design that card with more picks, longer, near the full length of the card, flat L tensors, and possibly a way to keep the set together after its been torn from the card. (holes punched to put them on a keychain)
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
