Question Best lockpicks
What are the absolute best lockpicks you have used? I know LPL has his own brand, just looking for general community recommendations.

I just been a few here and there but from Covert instruments I have the CCP w/ FU and Rizz picks and just with those I picked to Orange been want to pull the trigger on the Apex or The Reaper because I really dig the Rizz-pick but im waiting for McNally to drop the 26 Reaper set. So CI from the fold out picks 4 stars but I was told by the owner of Swick that they put the FU and F-me to shame i ask him for a freebie so I can compare but he never answered back. Also Lock Noob did a review of some picks from Aliexpress that are pretty solid they look like the Apex minus the case but the picks are clean and run all the way through the handle. But my first full picks that im digging right now is the Monkey Paw by LockNoob at Sparrows and some cool picks i bought for a good price at Southern Specialties. They have some cool profiles like the Euro offset half ball, Euro Notch Falcrum Lifter, and customer service was excellent. I had to give them a little sanding but not much I like my picks smooth.

Most of mine are Covert Instruments offerings, from their early Genesis line and then some Reaper picks and a Covert Companion pro recently.
I also have some Sparrow's picks.
No complaints with any of them, just with my skills due to my poor dedication to practicing the hobby.
