Sanding down the leaf on Goso picks

Ive only had the goso set for a couple of weeks and the gold leafing on them is starting to flake. I noticed that it was snagging on the keyway when i was trying to pick a lock.

No fancy tools and only takes a minute to do each pick and the cost is probably about €1 .............and you can notice the difference.

You've been at it 3 weeks mate! 3 FUCKING WEEKS!
I can't believe it.
Think I need to look into the kind of locks you are picking and get some myself!

Hey nozza, touch wood i aint bent any of my picks yet. I ordered a set of the small majestics from uklockpickers and he chucked in some kloms too. The kloms have a lot better feel to them and are a lot slimmer than some of the gosos, which imho are way too thick in some cases. But on saying that i still use the hook picks from the gosos regulary.

Its just more ammunition in my box for theses goddamn locks :D :D

Re: Sanding down the leaf on Goso picks

Great tip bouncer m8, I bought a set of Goso & a set of Klom (navigator) picks about 8 or 9 months ago & when they arrived I was all excited. The case for the Goso set looked amazing, I wasn't so impressed with the Klom case though & when I opened them up I was really disappointed with both sets. The finish of the picks was so disappointing compared to my Southords, so I put them in the cupboard & there they have been ever since, I didn't even bother to try to pick even one lock with them, until today that is when I read your post. I watched your vid & decided to get them out & have another look at them, after a little bit of work with a needle file I'm now much happier with them (well the Goso picks anyway, still not sure about the Kloms, the handles are not that clever) Anyway I will finally get around to giving them a try now. Thanx m8. ☠

P.S. I also used the needle file to clean up the small ridge left from the moulding of handles, now they are a half decent set of picks. There is nothing you can do about the shitty handles on the Kloms though, which is a shame because the picks are OK, it's just the handles let them down. They were only cheep though, so I suppose you get what you pay for. ☠
