'CHOOSING PICKS'

"YOU DONT NEED 100 PICKS"
When looking for lockpicks try and buy individual picks from the company you choose first if possible,because if you do like me and many other's you will wind up spending a bunch of money for 5 picks that you will actually use and like 20 other filler picks that you'll never use.

The first set of picks i bought was a southord set MPXS-14 its a metal handle pickset nice quality but the one problem i have with all southord picks are the handles they are too thin and just to skinny i just like a thicker fatter handle .but they are quality picks at a reasonable price.
Then i went through a few more sets some off brand and also some name brand and i just never found one that i was totally comfortable with until i broke down and gave in and finally bought me a few PETERSON picks .and then in 3 days from ordering i recieved my picks and found out these are the greatest picks ever .They are the best feeling ,best constructed there made from the best and hardest steel, they come in 2 diff. options

1ST is the GOVERNMENT STEELthe gov. steel picks are kind of expencive but they are deff. worth it the gov. steel only comes in 1 handle type and thats a
rubberized plastic .

2ND IS CARBON STEEL
carbon steel is a high quality high carbon steel its the cheapest type of metal PETERSONsells but they are super strong they are very well made picks this is the type i buy when i buy from them .They come in 2 diff. handle types 1st hard plastic, hard plastic by far is the better of the two but everyone is diff.

2ND DIPPED
dipped handles are just the pick blade dipped into a textured or non textured product like plasti dip .its very uncomfortable and very bendy and too thin and skinny (in my opinion)
