All these tools are home made , but most are copies of commercially available tools.

The case is one that another member here got from Amazon, I followed the link he posted and got a few myself.
They are great.
Maybe the OP who posted the link will see this and reply, I am sorry but I have lost track of the original posters name, he deserves credit for the case.

Whoa nice set. I have yet to buy a case for all my picks. I carry all of my picks in my backpack, since I'm not all pro like you guys.

Thanks , I made the picks and padlock bypass/knife out of winshield wiper springs.
The wire tools were made from the battery springs I removed from old flashlights, radios
and stuff. Just straightened them out and rebent to new shapes, they are the perfect size for tools, very strong spring steel.

How about the tension tool I see there. It's the wishbone tension wrench. Is that handmade out of windshield wiper blades?

Yes, all of the tension tools are made from the thinner wiper springs.
They come in four sizes that I have found.

Some very cool looking pick cases on here.

As for me; I don't always carry my picks with me, but when I do, I prefer this old Parker pen pouch:

It isn't the most convenient when you are looking for a pick in there, but it works OK. On the plus side it's small and fits many picks, including the Southord dimple picks that you can see in the photo.

Very nice, I like the denim and the interchangable function.
This thread has the link from rerun for the rollup pouches, and some other great ideas from other members.
Lots of nice home brew sets and cases.
