Nice video. The GOSO was my first big pick set. I still have the original case and all but 1 pick- which I broke. Then I started watching your, BosnianBill, and Lock Picking Lawyer’s videos and got introduced to Sparrows and Multi Pick- have several of their cases and individual picks, including some that have Lock Noob on them.
The Sparrows Monstrum XXL is a pretty big set. It includes their Monstrum set (which includes some of the esoteric picks like the tron and attila (two that Bosnian Bill liked) and the glide series plus all of the picks from wizwazzle. 21 picks and 22 turning tools.
I love sparrows, they have a lot of niche stuff but i've used their picks hundreds of times and none of them have any wear or bends at all, I think they just get overlooked for Peterson because Peterson has better grips which are better for longer picking sessions. But for actual real world use when your job (not locksmithing) is fugitive recovery, law enforcement, government, military I think Sparrows is hard to beat. Peterson is way overpriced and has loud ass velcro and bright colored handles a lot of the time, no thanks, good for locksport though.
Love that Moki set. I've got the 36 piece KLOM set but bought it used, but like new, for cheap @ $10 from Tony Virelli (now with Covert Instruments); I mostly bought it for the wafer picks, but it's most definitely a usable set; I just wouldn't recommend anyone pay $30 for one these days with better options. I've noticed two kinds of lockpickers on UA-cam: the 'minimalists' who typically feature very little in the way of their work area or tools during a video, such as yourself, the LPL, Dmac, or Lady Locks; and the gearheads like Sandman, Capune, Lockchuck, et al who show their full work area and tons of picks, racks, matts, gear, bling, etc.. But it makes me wonder just how much gear those of you in the first group actually have.
It'd be interesting if the larger lockpick manufacturers made a single set, just because. Multipick could likely make a triple gauge set with ~100 profiles. For Peterson and Sparrows, the total collection would be a lot less unified, but by grouping sets together it could certainly be something. I'd like to see their ~500 piece sets, but owning one is likely out of the question.

Great video…
On a side note, I sent you a package to your PO Box… please look for it in the new year.
It's got to be the Multipick set.
Full of quality.
Love the video.

I am returning back to an old hobby. This is helpful.
