Hi Sand Man,
Thank you for your constructive comment.
There seems to be a little confusion in terms of our Hook Range and we will address this on our site, so thank you for bring it to our attention.
Some of you may not be aware but we have 8 hooks in our range.
H1 & H2 are feeler hooks, to aid in identify the position of pins, hence the very genital feed back given.
H3 & H4 Were designed for SPP, but were made over extended, so that they could be bespoked by the individual user. As some people prefer a flat tip whilst, others prefer a tip with a radius.
H5, H6, H7 were designed as standard hooks to be used as they are.
H8 was designed so that the user could bespoke the length of the curve at the tip, so that it could be used on a specif lock... hence the over size radius.
So as you can see there has been a great deal of thought gone into producing a range of over 60 different picks and Tension Wrenches.
And although there are many pick that are designed for the novice, we also have focused on designing a part range for the more advanced, who are used to bespoking picks to their individual style of picking or a pick to be lock / type specific.
I hope this goes someway to explaining why we have a larger range than most and why we have designed specific picks within it.
If you have any confusion or are unsure of which picks to purchase, then please pm me and i am more than happy to assist.
With much respect,
Storm
