Recently purchased a new offering from Peterson Internatioal. The B series picks include a peterson gem, ripple(city rake) and hooked half diamond. In my experience, these work as well as any HPC I've used and have excellent feedback. I also got the PPB-LT and found it to be an excellent addition. This set came with the 2 3/8" wide snap over case. IMHO well worth the $28.00USD cost. Shipping was another $7.95USD.
Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
Thanks for the post, I was actually considering one of those sets a little while ago. I still am considering the peterson pry bars. They look like they would be a nice change from the tension tools that I make myself. They have me curious in any case. I may have to look into picking one of these up.

Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
Thanks Jailersmith.
Nice to have you add to the product reviews section.
Peterson products are generally quite good. Albiet some of the sets in the Government Steel range can be a bit dear.
The set you reviewed seem very attractive given the price and reputaion for quality.

Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
Footnote to my original post: Lost the small tension wrench in the couch... frantically recovered it, then broke the short leg of the wrench on a discus padlock. Gov't steel is strong and I've been popping locks since 1974, so I suspect I surpassed the metal threshold. Oh,well.
Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
I retract my praise for Peterson entry pickset D7B-PS. I humbly return to HPC, a poorer but wiser retired locksmith. The durability was a major disappointment. Comparing carbon spring steel, HPC is well suited to use in the real world. IMHO.

i find them very akward.
am i right in guessing they were not intended for in-hand picking?
with so many top-notch pickers using these with such great success,
i want to make sure to learn the techniques involved .
to the OP thanks for the unbiased real-world review.
HPC seem pretty hard to beat.
Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
Yeah, i find that the pry bars are difficult to use in-hand such as with padlocks and what not because there is no offset. i much prefer a TOK tension wrench that has an offset like the design that you came up with. I do prefer to use the pry bars on cylinders that i have in a vise or in an actual door.

Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
I have the best luck with the prybar picking in hand CCW using my thumb. I like the Peterson Spring steel picks, but I don't use them as primaries... that might have something to do with it. Can't beat those guberment steel slender gems though.
Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
I've never tried the Peterson Spring Steel picks, I have some Govt. Steel regulars, and I have a Govt Steel Slender Gem as well, definitely a nice pick. Tooly do you use HPC's as your primary picks?

Re: Peterson D7B-PS pick set
^No, I have a backup set of stainless and different thickness spring steel HPC's with a Peterson plastic handled spring steel pick or two. My primary stuff is all crap I made, except for a slender gem I pinned with kydex scales. They don't sell the slender tools in plastic, and I'm not a big fan of the dip.
