 Hello, this is Alex with my What's turning into a multi-part series on? Product reviews I did get a bunch of pics in the mail this week as you may be able to tell This is the south ord slim line Kit or they may call it the euro kit. I don't remember what the exact product name was Should probably look that up. I'll put it in the notes, but anyway, these are These are a slimmer line pick and when they say slim line, they're talking both about Something to point with Pick both this width here the width of the shaft as well as the thickness of the metal so these are all point 0 to 3 But I assume is stainless, but not a hundred percent sure Just to show you What should be different? Okay, I lied. That's a point two six point oh two six It's point oh two one. Okay, so maybe they have a little bit of variance and I'm depending on the thick on the Shaft, that's oh two three This is the one I measured before the video Oh two three and maybe down towards the tip it no oh two three So it looks like on on maybe some of these bigger ones They went with a slightly thicker metal, which is why as I'd say What I like about these is there's a very nice progression of the curves And that's actually why I bought this set because I wanted more curves So let me zoom in on the tips of these guys. I have them arranged in this order for reason I've tried to put them in s in well I guess descending order left to right of the severity of the hook if some of these seem a little bent It's because they are and that's my handy work So maybe a little bit harder to tell But they're they're very nice Okay So most of these ones are oh two three, but it looks like there were a couple of Thicker ones as well this guy here. Let's check them again Oh two five. Yeah But just a great progression And so as I've been working on like the Eva DPI which is just as ridiculous wording You can sort of work your way up as you need to get to some of the back pins And I found that that that is really helpful even this crazy deep hook. I've found that useful fit and finish They are Actually pretty nicely finished the top could use a little polishing, but there's no Real rough marks on it. So let me just get the noise So you can hear it's pretty smooth No, no scratching sounds And even the edges are a little bit beveled I mean, I think a lot of us would probably sand these more aggressively I have not done anything to these other than maybe scratch them up in locks But I have not polished them or anything So that's how they come from the factory. They look like maybe they've been tumble polished or something Or maybe they hit it with a brush But a wheel but a wire wheel But yeah, so I bought it for this set of hooks Actually because I wanted some more thin hooks and I was getting sick of making my own Zooming back out the other picks you get Are these guys these are like offset balls and the difference between these two is the amount of the the rake angle on this So here's the angle on this guy and here's angle on this guy So it's a little I don't know maybe five degrees more So you get a little bit more reach with that and the same with the diamond I think I may have bent this one a little bit, but there's one that's a little Deeper and a little shallower Um, I love offset diamonds I need to play with these balls some more because I think they may be quite useful So I will get used out of all of these personally all of these guys Um, particularly these two I have a number of their other diamonds and that's a good aspect ratio on a diamond. It's about a two. It's what I call that Um, I'll talk about that separately. Um, and then there's a ball Uh, yeah, you can see that just fine. Um, I haven't used balls that much. This is actually the first ball picks Um, uh It's actually the first one in my collection as far as I recall Um, and so, uh, I'm gonna I'll play with that a little bit. I know they're supposed to be good in way for locks So we'll see if that's helpful Um, I like the I also am pleasantly surprised with the Um, we're just pleased with the build quality on them. The the handles are plain, right? These have no fancy riveted handles or anything. They may have had it in a Uh You know more expensive set with handles if I decide that these are too thin or whatever I can put some shrink tubing or make some little brass handles for them, but They're just fine as they are frankly. Um, I use a lot of picks that are just you know made out of sheet metal and I don't have any problem. Um I think it was a really good value. It seems like it was 20 bucks or 25 bucks. So, um, great value. Um Excellent construction. I think a little bit of time with some fine sandpaper just to maybe tune up the the tops a little bit which have a little bit of a um residual from the either stamping or or It looks like a stamping process to make them but Overall very nicely made you can pretty much use them out of the box if you're not too picky about having everything mirror polish and You know blinding you with the shine So I think that's what you get there. Um, there may be one other one that I'm That has gotten lost in my mess of my table But there you go. So southward, um Slim line or euro pick set Um, I'd say a buy good good product. Um very good value So this is alex. Thanks for watching. Have fun and please keep it legal. Cheers
