Picks for euro locks

Postby superkiller110 » 10 Mar 2016 8:56

Hello guys, I was wondering if you would suggest any Sparrows or Peterson sets for European locks, I would by the Southord Slimline, but I do not like the small handles. I live in europe, so I will most likely face only euro locks, I like the Peterson Plastic Handle 20 Piece Government Steel Pick Set, but I dont know if the picks would be suitable for those locks.
Thank you very much Tom

I would also like to know any sources for buying Peterson or Sparrows picks in Europe, because the customs are quite high.
Thanks again Tom

Peterson all the way. Unless you like the profiles of sparrows. Peterson picks are MUCH nicer.

As for sourcing them out, can't help you out sorry. But I can tell you they are worth whatever you pay for them.

You pay customs in your country, doesn't matter where it comes from. If it is shipped with declared dollar value (All reputable businesses do) you will pay customs.

I live in Canada, my last Peterson order was $35 usd, Shipping was $35 usd = $70 usd. in Canadian it was over $90. For $35 worth of picks. I pay it happily cause they are the best picks I've ever held. Shipping is the killer, I'm going to start making 1 or 2 big orders a year instead of the one every couple months I do now. Should help save some on the shipping at least. But I can't stress this enough, they are worth every penny.
