Ullman Devices CHP8-L Individual Hook and Pick Set, 9-3/4", 8-Piece

This is a very good set of hooks and picks. I'm an engineer and extremely finicky about tools. I have Harbor Freight to Snap-On. This are a in the higher end of quality tools. I had a cheapy set that i snapped the end off trying to use it for some light prying. These blades are tougher and longer. They are sharpened nicely to a smooth rounded point. These cost a little more than some of the other choices but i feel they are worth it and would buy again. I also bought the Channellock HP-4ECP set and the Tekton PNH90101 set. Both are good but have less shapes and they are shorter.

These are good picks, good metal. I've used Ullman in various forms over the years and their products sold under other brand names and they've always put out a great product. I was a little sad to see that this set is now made overseas (they do still make some here in the US but not this set) but the quality is still there. Yes, the grips may pull off....pretty much the same story for all grips of this type. Put a little contact cement or epoxy in there and call it good if it's an issue for you. Shafts are threaded into the handles....this can be helpful if you need to change things up or want to make a longer handle or perhaps a T-grip handle. A drop of loctite if they loosen for you the way you use them. These do flash rust fairly quickly so oil 'em for storage.

These picks replaced a Matco set that I had for 12 years, broke half of them. That is a credit to Matco. Putting these through the gauntlet now and so far am impressed except for the thickness, makes it hard to force out cotter pins. All the right bends and angles on these and no snapped one yet. Duribilty...will update.

They are sturdy, but the rubber handle will turn when you try to twist with a little force. with out the rubber handle on they are too small to grip for my hands. I read other reviews said they come unscrewed. They just twist inside the outside rubber cover.

Perfect for O-rings and hard to reach pins

the product is just as I needed it. for the most incredible uses, in my case for placer gold prospecting.

This pick set is exact same thing as MAC’s set they sell just rebranded. Very high quality. My only complaint would be that the case it comes in is very cheap, but none of that matters really .

Really, really nice pick set for an amazing deal.Fit/finish is the same as Snap-On. Metal quality seems as good (I've had these for a few months and have definitely put them through their paces -- they are very strong for their size)Super convenient: Pick shafts unscrew from the rubber-wrapped handles if you have a clearance issue. Some other reviewers suggest threadlocking them into the handles, but then you're just ruining a really nice feature (why do you think there's that knurled part on the shaft? To help you tighten them into the handle sufficiently). To each his own, I guess.

Very simple build with the steel used for the 'hook' ends appears to be very strong.

Good tools. I used them to disassemble a shift mechanism for my car.

Super useful for retrieving small parts, aligning holes, scraping, even backscratching

Apart from the handle isn’t the greatest to hold, the handle tends to loosen when picking on stuff

Exactly as shown .good setof picks .I use them for removing clips on cars
