Product Description
This pick is manufactured from 0.018 thick Government Steel and then molded into a purple toned plastic handle. This is our second thinnest series of picks. While they are somewhat thicker than the 0.015 picks, they are designed with the "Euro" shank reduction to enhance egress into restrictive key ways. They are designed to be useful for locks having narrow key ways and to provide some more strength than the 0.015 picks.
Please note that these picks are specially designed to provide you access in narrow key ways 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 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.

Works well!
I use this for my everyday picking as a pick that I use for paracentric keyways. I am a heavy-handed picker, but these picks have not bent at all yet. 10/10

One of the best all around picks on the market!
Peterson picks in .018" are some of the best on the market. I pick a wide variety of American and Euro locks and the Peterson Hook 7, 1, and Gem are my goto. These picks fit in the tightest of keyways, yet are strong enough to get past the most stubborn spool pins. With these 3 picks I can get in almost every lock. I love how Peterson is differentiating itself from the market and innovating with the perfect pick thickness.
The Peterson handles are just a bonus and really help you have a firm grasp on your pick. I can't count the number of time a competitors handleless pick has slipped while deep in the lock causing me to bend my thinner picks. The Peterson handle gives me the tight and precise feedback that no other pick does. And I know. I have tried all the brands from all the different countries around the world.
