Ordered a Petersons set

Ordered this set just now, as it's been awhile since I've tryed a new set.

I've literally just ordered it, so I'll see how long it takes to get here (Australia) and will post a review when I've had some time to look them over.

This is just a testing key, nothing specialised. I'll probably canabalise it for parts later down the track anyway, like I do with all my other sets.

Anything I missed for a general setup?

Did you get any of their tension tools? I have heard that they are pretty sweet.

Re: Ordered a Petersons set

Got the set today. Good packaging, every item group in a seperate bag (Picks \ tention tools \ case \ extractors)

The picks are decent. I got mostly Rubber Handed whenever I could, but the three Slender Government Steel picks were rubber dipped, which I still find quite comfortable. The picks feel strong, and I know I could throw these around in the back of my van, or drop hammers and such on them without worrying about the handles seperating (I'm looking at YOU Southern Specialties).
I got mostly mirror copies of the Government Steel and Carbon Spring Steel. (Though I got a half snowman in the CSS)
Just so I can have a decent every-day set, and a quality set for higher grade work.

The tention tools are quality. I got the original Pry-bar, a FLAT-5 tention tools pack, and the large assortment of U-BEND-IT stock.
I like the pry-bar, it feels sturdy. I'll test it more soon.
I'm not quite sure what to think of the FLAT-5 pack, I'm sure they've all got a purpose but some seem fairly small and thin, so I'll have to find some really narrow keyways.
U-BEND-IT does exactly that. Plenty of pieces of stock to make new tention tools, and an awesome little tool to bend them with. This will definatly be going in the work van, for those "Wish i had one of those right now..." moments.

The Spiral Extractors from 13Song Tools (x4) seem effective. Instead of the prick-point on most spirals I've seen, these have a little sharp tag at the end, which I would assume cuts into the key as it's spiraled in, or to grab onto the tip once fully inserted. Good innovation.

The case I chose was the Professional Bi-fold Case. It seems to be quite well-fitted to the other peterson tools, Nothing's going to be falling out soon.

Over all I think Peterson manufacture quality tools that should last me quite a long time. I'll be interested to put this "Government Steel" to the strength test.
Those 13Song extractors are sharp, Just cut my lip on one I had in my mouth. Careful.

I'd give Peterson Tools and materials an 8.5/10
