Hooked Diamond - Stainless 0.015 Slender

Hooked Diamond - Stainless 0.015 Slender

This pick is manufactured from 0.015 thick Government Steel and then molded into a blue plastic handle. This is Peterson's thinnest series of picks. While they are thinner than the 0.018 picks, they are designed without the "Euro" shank reduction. so they enhance egress into restrictive key ways while maintaining strength. They are designed to be useful for locks having narrow key ways and to provide more strength than the 0.018 picks.

These picks are specially designed to provide you access in narrow key ways where standard 0.025 picks will not fit. This reduction in width comes at a logical cost in rigidity. Using these picks in wider key ways means you will lose the side to side lateral support for your pick that a narrow key way provides. If you are heavy handed you may find that these picks will try to flex sideways, or even bend under high pressure in locks with wide key ways.
