New set of picks

Hi there im a locksmith from Edinburgh in Scotland. Im looking to splash out on a new set of lock picks. In the past ive always just used majestic pick but i find they snap a little too easy when the going gets tough. P.s i dont mind ordering from abroad. Thanks for any suggestions Danny :-)

Have you looked at the selection from MadBob in the U.K. Also a favorite of mine is Southern Specialties in the U.S. :reach:

Re: New set of picks

I found mad Bob picks bend easily too. What style of keyways are primarily used there? Peterson are expensive but probably your best bet.

The majority of locks picked in the UK are eurolocks and rim cylinders mate

Re: New set of picks

I've been through Klom, Sparrows, HPC, and Peterson picks. Peterson is my preference for most things for three reasons (i) the best/most comfortable handles, (ii) variety of pick thicknesses (.025", .018" & .015"), and (iii) durability. As droppedtensionwrench noted, they are a bit pricey, but my opinion is that they are worth the price.
