If you had a 46 piece key collection you could rape
your locks open in a tenth of the time.

I agree with everyone who believes that large picksets are not necessary...

Although i have a large set of picks... i find that i mainly use about 6 of them. All i carry with me is (Southords):
- Double Ball
- Half Diamond
- Short Hook
- Snake Rake
- The "L" Rake
- The "S" Rake
- 3 Different Tensions, a large, a medium, and a small.

That little set gets me through pretty much any lock (within my picking ability) i encounter.
