The majority of the picks are useless, there are limited wrenches and the "slim" version is quite thick at 0.023 rather than the 0.015 which is normal for slim. The case is poorly made and it's overall over priced too.
33wwI have a small set for when I forget my key or someone needs to open something. It was a bonus from an order from Sparrows one time. 8 picks, 6 wrenches, all in a tiny pouch that fits unobtrusively on your belt. So, people who are adept as using a pick are the ones who EDC them, people who aren't, won't.
You will never use 90% of these. I am a locksmith with 35 years experience and I use about 4 picks regularly and the tension wrenches I either make from wiper inserts or I use Peterson rigid bars for top of keyway picking. I don't know too many locksmiths using Southord so cannot comment. I prefer HPCs more expensive stainless line of picks and polish the crap out of them to take of the sharp edges.
This is the set I bought just because they are pretty. I don't use this set, I just look at them. I am going to ditch the tension wrenches and make stainless ones.
BenzoI don’t have this set, but I have the 12 set of Southord. They are high quality hardened steel. This set it a lot of duplicates, and slim picks/European picks. The first 12 in this set is the 12 I have.
I did end up buying extra tension wrenches though. Also I didn’t get warded picks.
Set is is pretty sweet with extras and case though, price seems worth it. Have a look at pricing on Southord’s site and you’ll see.
