Description
They say these lock picks got their red color from the blood of a million slaughtered locks.
The Peterson GSP Ghost set is hands down the best beginner lock pick set with the ability to pick an absurd variety of locks without needing any additional tools—making it one of the most versatile small form lock pick sets there is. This special release also includes an additional diamond pick in .025"!
This is a limited edition release of our best-selling set and won't be around long! If you want to learn lock picking, this is your huckleberry!
What makes it different from other lock pick sets?
- Outstanding Feedback and Comfort:: The feedback you receive from the lock is everything! Because each pick has an ergonomic plastic handle, the feedback you receive as a picker is significantly amplified due to more surface area of your hand being on the pick.
- Unbelievable Strength: You deserve picks that are strong! These are government steel picks—an elite stainless steel alloy similar to surgical grade 420 stainless—making these the strongest picks you can get!
- Unbeatable Case: This set includes a high-quality, padded nylon case that will keep your investment safe—not to mention your butt if you sit with them in your back pocket.
Tools Included
Short Hook - Peterson Hook #1
Specs: 0.025" thickness, GSP, flat tip on the hook
The Short Hook is arguably the most used and versatile tool in any lock pickers toolset. Mastery of the hook is often correlated with mastery of lock picking itself.
Half-Diamond - Peterson Diamond
Specs: 0.025" thickness, GSP
The Half-Diamond lock pic acts like a ramp and allows pins to slowly rise and descend in a very controlled manner. This allows us to quickly locate and set binding pins by simply dragging the pick across the pin stacks.
Deep Hook - Peterson Hook #5
Specs: 0.025" thickness, GSP, round tip on the hook
The Deep Hook has an extra-long reach that allows a lock picker to reach pins further back in the stack without the chance of oversetting more forward pins. These picks are extremely helpful for setting high-cut pins that are behind low-cut pins.
The City Rake - Peterson Long Ripple
Specs: 0.025" thickness, GSP
The City Rake – getting its name from its resemblance to a city skyline – is a very long rake that mimics the cuts of a key. By simply rocking this pick up and down within the lock, you can very quickly set pins to the shear line. These picks are very effective against locks with high cut pins in the front and back and low cut pins in the center.
The Peterson Reach
Specs: 0.025" thickness, GSP
The Peterson Reach is a specially designed pick that has a long curved hook. This modification allows for deep access within the lock and the ability to work behind lower cut pins. It also has a lower profile on the shank to squeeze into tight places and is great for rotating pins if you find yourself working with high-security locks.
Bogota - Peterson Bogie #1 and #2
Bogie 1: 0.025" thickness, GSP
Bogie 2: 0.018" thickness, GSP
The Bogota is arguably the best and most commonly used rake and is a must for any beginner looking for their first lock pick set. These rakes have rounded and polished peaks that reduce friction and allow them to slip and slide like butter within the lock while raking. They are very effective against high-low-high-low pin cuts, which is something many other types of rakes cannot claim.
Pry Bar - No Teeth
Specs: 0.040" thickness, GSP
The Prybar is a top of the keyway tensioning tool that grants the picker more room to maneuver their picks as well as torquing the plug from the center rather than the bottom. These tools are extremely useful for locks with tighter keyways, radical pin cuts, or security pins.
Tension Wrenches - No Flex
This set includes six GSP bottom of the keyway GSP tension wrenches with no flex. All with different specifications.
Item | Width | Thickness | Length | |
T-1 | 0.100" | 0.020" | 5" | |
T-2 | 0.120" | 0.020" | 4" | |
T-3 | 0.120" | 0.030" | 4" | |
T-4 | 0.120" | 0.030" | 5" | |
T-5 | 0.120" | 0.025" | 4" | |
T-6 | 0.120" | 0.025" | 5" |
What Is GSP?
The GSP stands for “Government Steel Picks" and is exclusively a Peterson Manufacturing product.
While most lock picks are made of 10-95 carbon steel, Peterson GSP picks are made of an elite stainless steel alloy similar to the 420 stainless steel that is used in many surgical tools—like scalpels—essentially making these the strongest lock picks on the market!
This is where GSP has a HUGE advantage over other lock picks.
What this means for you as a picker is that your picks will last significantly longer than traditional and cheaper picks.
In the long run, this will save you a lot of money in replacing picks. This also makes these picks ideal for those starting out as beginners tend to be rougher on their tools.
Ergonomic Handles
There is something about holding tiny tools in your hands for an extended amount of time that will cause you pain… and not just physical, but emotional. There are few things worse in this world than being so close to opening a lock and having to drop your tools because of hand cramps or bleeding fingers.
To solve this affliction each lock pick that we offer has an ergonomic and comfortable plastic handle.
These handles not only make your picking sessions more enjoyable but also increase the feedback you receive due to more surface area of your hand being on the pick.

I now have the original ghost set (black handles) and this one. Definitely recommend this set over the original. The red handles are a nice touch and the added diamond makes the set feel complete. Awesome addition and sad to see it's only a limited edition. Would like to see more sets like this one!

Nothing is perfect. This set is amazing and every pick is in my “kill everything with pins” kit. The only thing I had to do was smooth them a bit with some fine sand paper.
