Product Description
This Carbon Spring Steel Long Ripple has an Electroless Nickel Plating applied before it is molded into its strong fiber filled nylon handle. These 10-95 steel picks are robust, and this light weight plastic handle provides for an agile and responsive picking experience. You will find that the picking feedback is easily felt throughout the handle. While we always recommend our Government Steel Plastic picks (GSP) as an even stronger product, customers will find that these ENP (Electroless Nickle Plastic) based picks allow them to purchase an excellent quality pick on a budget.
Ken says: Because of the height reduction behind the rippled profile, (handle side) there is a tendency to encounter the "it broke" syndrome if you use this pick aggressively like perhaps you would use a double rake. Even though we reduced the drop to make them stronger they will break with aggressive action.
However I myself love them, AND I don’t break them. The reason is that I don’t use them as you would a standard rake; instead I use the as a precursor tool.
With some light turning tool pressure I walk back and forth across the pins several times as if I was crushing grapes to make wine. Remember the objective in crushing grapes is just to crush the fruit; but not the seeds!
What I have now accomplished is I have set about half of the pins. I am not usually able to set them all because the ripples don’t reach high and low enough to pick all locks. Then I take my favorite hook or my diamond picks and set the last pins: wow it opened! And it actually opened faster than if I used my second tool alone…
