How Many Picks Do You Rely Upon?

Agree about wrenches being critical to the job although I use pry bars and nothing else.
They are amazing.

Add the double rake to my repertoire.

I picked up a set of the Peterson "flat 5" tension tools. I have not used these before but I'm interested to see how I like them. At first glance through their catalog I confused them with TOK tools aka "pry bars" but these are for BOK not TOK. Looking forward to see how they work!

I keep trying to carry and use LESS picks. Here is my current Go To/EDC Kit

Peterson C4-Cycloid Quad
C5-Cycloid Quint
C6-Sine Quad
C7-Sine Quint

Peterson Hook 1
Peterson Gem Medium Hook
Peterson Gem Medium Hook Thin Eruo style
Peterson Diamond

For Tension Tools I probably carry 15 or so in the EDC kit. I prefer flat, top of the keyway with a bend and use 1 of the 3 variations if I can get away with it. I don't much care about picks, but on Tension Tools - learn to roll your own and customize as you see fit!

HPC hook and rake will get me through a lot of cylinders. I carry a few different wrenches as a rule, some rigid, and a twist. Sometimes a wishbone.

Here is a set I use from time to time if I need tools, but want to go minimal. The hooks are identical, but its my most used pick, so redundancy is ok in my thinking.
