Euro Petersons?

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.

Euro Petersons?

Postby DragITA » 29 Jul 2011 10:49

Hi from Italy, seems the best forum of lockpicks! There are a lot of experts! SO i wanted to ask a thing, here we think Southord Slimlines are the best picks we used at moment, but we've seen that ''Petersons'' picks seems the best USA picks... one question, are they big like the Standard Southord, or mabe are there some thin picks like Slimline?
I find only the ''DEEP CUT ACCESS PICKS'' for european, but i don't like the red design :( Also no tension tool there for european locks...
Anyone knows somethin?

Or must we continue to use the slimline? :mrgreen:
thanks you all!

I have the Peterson "Just Picks" set which has no wrench, but it is VERY thin/slimline, very flexible, very strong, and works very well to pick locks!

(pick handle colors are not as bright in real life)

My Just Picks pick set is all plum / purple color dipped handles, but you can order multi-color if you specify and if they have it in stock.

HPC tension wrenches are the best made:

Good luck!

Yes! Very good for ASSA, VingCard, Viro, Yale, GeGe, Phaffenhein, ABUS, CES, Corbin, ISEO, FAB, Nemef, Tesa etc.

Here is a photo of the Peterson Just Picks (purple handles) (mixed in with some Raimundo Bogota rakes) next to a Medeco cylinder:
