Haha, cool dude but one is enough.
It shows me that you are attempting to say thanks and I accept.

I have sent out two other sets of picks before now, and have
not even got a "Yeah they got here fine" let alone a thanks, haha.

I guess that I have too much time on my hands nowdays.

Anyway, Perin I just want to say:



















SCISSORS??

Nothing more than 11 pcs should fit you fine.

I'd go for a five or six or so piece set:

* A hook
* A half diamond
* A ball
* A snake
* A couple other rakes

* A tension wrench

That is a pretty good starter set without spending much money
and it will open most of the locks you want with a bit of practice.

If you're rich enough to consider £84 "very cheap," why buy SouthOrds? Nothing against SO picks, but with that kind of money I'd be buying the Falle-Safe kit.
