Cool starter collection - how are you finding them?

MBI - May I ask what was in the pics that were removed? I'm currently writing a pick set review which includes a lot of normal picks but also I have got a Petersons set of bypass tools and I know those can be a touchy subject in some places so I wouldn't want to unintentionally make the same mistake. Figured I should check over what was posted here before posting myself as I didn't know that just photos of certain tools were considered advanced.

I got the biggest lost from LOCKPICKSHOP The Bogota sets from RIFTRECON For me the cool thing with Rift I live in GA they mailed on Dec 24th I had them Dec 26th. They Rift has a place in GA appellant so shipping was way fast. The Bogotas where a gift from my wife. Im thinking about paying a visit to the local Flea Market this am and see what I can find Lock wise at a good price.

Ohh, sorry, I meant how are you finding them as in how are they doing for you, picking wise :D. That's cool stuff though about where you got them from, I've not bought from either of those although I've used lockpickshop UK (not sure if it's connected to the US one).

Oh and really, comb picks? Eep... I guess my set of Peterson G-4B bypass tools won't be smiled on for a review than, haha! If I don't hear back from MBI before I'm ready to post, I'll send a PM and check first. Didn't realise showing tools not in use was against the rules.
