The Pittsburgh picks are absolutely perfect for the needs of a Locksmith. I've had my 90° pick (pokey tool) for over a year and it's helped me with commercial hardware, access control, safes, rekeys, popping detents, etc. It is an absolute godsend for only $2. Trust me, $2 picks are more than worth it if you use them right.

I Got Some HF Picks When I Bought My US General Toolbox. The Orange Paint Matched And I Was Like, Eh $1.35 I Need Some Picks Lol. Turns Out The Guy Forgot To Scan Them So They Were Free

[SixUncle]

I just bought the HF picks today with $1 coupon. They look good for what it's worth. The hook one felt sturdy to me. I don't like I can break it like the poster.

[rancid]

I had to replace the O rings on my hose reel. The $2.00 ones from HF got it done. Have no idea if I'll ever use them again, so I couldn't see spending a lot of money on a set.

[petercolquhoun]

I've come to the conclusion from watching all of Project Farms videos that you can't go wrong with Milwaukee. Any product of theirs will finish in the top three or so. Never a bad result.

I have those Milwaukee picks and use them in a bike workshop. They are proper pro quality tools, and a good size as well, larger than the Mac and Snap-On mini picks I also have. If you're paying $2 for a set of tools, don't expect pro quality.

[radioclash]

I just picked up the Husky ones at Home Depot—they seem plenty strong for the random stuff I may need them for.

[ajsironworks]

Milwaukee seems to just know all the good extras to put on their tools. Love the tool videos man thanks again!!!!

[bloodsongsToolreviews]

Husky does make a set of pics that have the square handles I have those personally

[poolmonkey]

Very few sets come with a pouch/case. When you put them in a tool bag, they poke through the canvas. It's a small complaint, but it's annoying.

[isaacstacoify]

I'll take the Icon for how convenient the warranty is. I could get a replacement the same day as opposed to the pain in the ass Milwaukee warranty.

[bluemantom]

I own the harbor freight picks I also own a set of channel lock picks

[frankthespank]

The Icon picks for $20 at Harbor Freight are very high quality, they copy Snap-On with those, even down to a much better tray than those Milwaukee picks. You can also use Harbor Freights coupons if the extra $3 breaks your ass in half. 🤓

Harbor freight vs home depot, HF is closer, easier to get to AND shares the parking lot with Dairy Queen, HD I have drive the Seattle Outlet Mall (mecca for Canadian shoppers), Quilceda Creek casino And Cabela's. Cabela's is the problem, there're better at taking money than the casino!

Five-piece PB Swiss are like 65 dollars. Resisted buying for a few years.

Thank you for the video husky and Milwaukie it's is for me

[sleektoneofficial]
