What are these things?!

[Rikeshar]

Hey! I've got some picks that came with my set that I'm not sure what the uses are, I was wondering if you guys could help me out?

From left to right.

Full Ball....Looks like a thicker L rake....Half ball....Double ended S rake/Large Diamond....Broken Key extractor.....Another S rake.....an Long hook.

I mean, You can certain use the hook to 'feel' the pins I suppose but you can do that with the extractor, any sized diamond, and even small ball picks.

[DomoKun]

oh crap, you were wondering the uses and now what they were.

I can help you with a few of them.

The rakes do exactly what they are. They rake the pins. the Key extractor is self explanitory. Your pick breaks in there, use that to take the piece out. If you haven't used the diamond or the hook to push pins up, then I'd say that all you've been doing since you got this set is using your Snake.

The hook is the tool that you need if you have pins next to each other on a high and low cut, its the pick i use most of the time now as it can cover most jobs well.

And to complete the story : The ball picks are used for wafer locks

The L rake you were talking about, what would this be used on
I mean how can this come into use, i would have though it's like the snake, just bobbing up and down the pins, if i am wrong please correct me

P.S. If i am wrong, what is it used for?
