Snap-on or Matco picks work could for me use mine everyday.

Snap on is always the most recomended for picks. I have a set and they are pretty tough. I have gone threw some other sets, even a decent set from mcmaster carr but haven't bent the snap ons yet.

Snappy by far is the best ive ever used.

Snap-on for 15 years. Never broken

I'm a fan of Mayhew picks.

Snap On or PB Swiss (the latter is my preference)

I like the titanium picks at itstactical.com if you're talking about lockpicks. Regular picks I use some no-name orange handles that do a good enough job at pulling junk coolant elbows and plastic gasket pieces out of ports for me to not complain about it.

Is the snap on mini-pick set the main one people use, or what.

 

[mkdive]

pbswiss is my favorite

+1 for the Snap On picks.

Most used by me, HF copy of the 2 double end scribe/pick same "type" as Snapon. They are NOT strong, bend easily, but bend back easy too, and I don't intend to use them as pry bars. HF puts them on sale from time to time for about $2. I also have the larger HF radiator picks.

For a hard tip, best I have seen is the 4 pc set I bought from Ullmann (inspection mirror people). They are mini pick sized, but business end is very strong.

Snap-On for sure. Although I did break the 90 Degree Pick in the set though. Now I have 2 Straight Picks! =)

I also have these 2 sets from Sears...

And the longer ones that come in very handy at times...
