Is it Eu or us size on sparrows when ordering hooks etc

[erhggherv]

I want to order tools from sparrows, and i want us and eu sizes for picking european and us locks but it dosnt stand whether its >0.20 or <0.25 for us.

I am not sure that it matters whether you have US sizes or metric sizes. European locks tend to have tighter keyways, and therefore thinner picks may be better for picking the tighter keyways. But thinner picks are also weaker. So there is a trade-off.

Whether you order metric or SAE sizes does not really matter. Both are available in a variety of thicknesses. You can easily enough convert the measurements between inches and millimeters.

As Gordon says, whether the pick is constructed with metric och US units doesn't matter, it's just thicker and thinner picks.

There are two common thicknesses for picks: 0.025"/0.6mm and 0.015"/0.4mm. (There are others, less common, as well.)
It's not exact conversions, but close enough.

I'm in Europe and have picks from both Sparrows and Multipick, and pick most of my locks with the thicker picks. Although European locks are said to have narrower keyways, older locks and padlocks (which are made in China anyway) often have quite wide keyways. I bring out the thinner ones only when I have to.
