4pc Precision Hook & Pick Set

When it comes to hook and pick sets, I've gone through my fair share, and I must say, these ones have truly held their ground and then some. In fact, I'd go as far as to say they're on par with the best sets I've ever owned. You see, I view these sets as what I affectionately call "wear items." Over time, as you put them to use on various projects, it's only natural that the picks will gradually dull. However, the exceptional quality of this particular set has been a pleasant surprise. Even though I fully expect wear and tear, these picks seem to maintain their edge remarkably well, making them more of a long-term companion than I initially anticipated. Their resilience is a testament to their craftsmanship, and it's clear that they've been built to withstand the test of time. In my world of tinkering and fixing, where precision and finesse are paramount, having dependable tools like these hook and pick sets is essential. They've become an integral part of my toolkit, always at the ready to tackle tasks that demand precision and attention to detail. So, if you're in the market for a set of hook and pick tools that not only get the job done but also prove to be reliable companions over the long haul, look no further. These sets are, in my book, a valuable addition to any DIY enthusiast's arsenal.

Firstly, I'll state that as of this review I've not put these through too much strain as of yet, though I've already used them both professionally and at home with my various hobbies and house work. Initially, my purchase was based on them being "made in USA", being reasonably priced, and being able to fill a tool necessity at both work and home, which is why I bought 2 sets. At work, they've already stood up to typical usage and I've even performed some abusive prying with them, though they're not meant to do this. Nevertheless, they've held up thus far, and feel sturdier and well made in comparison to the random budget picks I was using before. I've become, overall, a fan of the Channellock brand. They offer an array of USA made tools that cost below "premium" tool price, but are made as well as premium brands and are easily as good or better than pricier import equivalents.

Channellock typically markets and sells its tools to trades people and homeowners looking for high quality tools for maintenance and repair. But I have found these picks also make great letter openers, knot un-tiers, boot sole cleaners, small hole punchers, and probably are good for a myriad of other creative uses. I've gotten strange looks when I've given these as gifts, but later get compliments shch as, "Wow, I never would have though these are great for.....". Despite the relatively small size and light weight for a pick, these are very sturdy and the handles grip well in my medium to large size hands and are easy to hold and manipulate like a pencil for more delicate tasks. These make a good conversation piece for those non-tool folks and are just fun to tinker with as well. And kudos for a high quality product made in the USA!

I chose channel lock cuz they're made right here in PA appear to be good quality I was just expecting bigger pics these are actually pretty small which is fine I just did not see anywhere on the description that listed the size so just wanted to share so you're not disappointed otherwise good quality and the price is fair.

Excellent set. Ty

These are the real deal. Real tools with super sharp hardened steel picks. The points are needle sharp. I made the mistake of first getting fake Chinese lookalikes. Big mistake. Their shiny steel picks bend far too easily. Not these. Note that these picks are small. They’re not for working on engines or large equipment. But they’re great when working on household appliances and small projects. You may not need them often, but when you do, they’re priceless.

American made!!!!!! Dosent bend easy like the imported stuff. Cost more but you get what you pay for…I use it for screen repair but all the included tools are useful for lock picking.

A solid hook set at a fair price. Can't ask for much more
