i think it is that

if the screwdriver handle is bigger, then yes
it is much thicker than regular picks

anyone know which ones are good?

i like the mayhew ones, but cant find them anywhere
one of my buddys that works next to me has a sk, expert 2 handles, but cannot find it anywhere

i see snap on sells a set for 150, but thats too much

mac guy is bringing me a set for 135, but it is too much and it looked alittle cheap

any ideas?

What he said.

 

[petty4243]

the mac set is actually pretty good, coworker has it and I am frequently borrowing them

 

[simonb]

is the mayhew set the same exact as the snap on?

they look to me like regular picks- does anyone own these sets?

i like the mayhew one, and price looks good- but they look like regular pick set

i am looking for the metal part to be thicker

are these what i am looking for and the pic looks smaller than they really are- or is there something else.

i need to put a lot of strength into these things- and from pic it looks like they will break.

The tool has less stress on it than a screwdriver, the tip goes under the hose and breaks the seal. I can't see how a Snapon would work or last any better than mine does for $2 with a lifetime warranty.

OTOH I regularly use about 8 different picks, depending on what the job is.

Radiator hose pick.
Set of two double ended scribes / picks. Absolutely the most used pick.
Set of 4 smaller picks, straight, right angle, loop, and I forget.
Set of 3 full size handle, straight, right angle, and loop.

My favorite picks

I just got a set of PBswiss picks the other day off amazon. Blue handle. They are nice! My first pbswiss tools so far. I like them alot.

I can get Mayhew but they are the regular size set.

I have the 4 piece CMan pro pick set. Very well made and it can take the use and abuse.
