Description
Peterson Hook 5 – Plastic Gov Steel
This Peterson Hook 5 pick is manufactured from 0.025 thick Government Steel and then molded into a black-toned plastic handle. This is our thickest series of picks. While 0.025 are thicker than the 0.015 and 0.018 picks, they are designed with the “Euro” shank reduction to enhance egress into restrictive keyways. They are useful for locks having narrow keyways and to provide more strength than the 0.015 and 0.018 thick picks.
Please note that these picks are specially designed to provide you access in narrow keyways where standard 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 keyway 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.
