Product Description
This pick is manufactured from 0.018 thick Government Steel and then molded into a purple toned plastic handle. This is our second thinnest series of picks. While they are somewhat thicker than the 0.015 picks, they are designed with the "Euro" shank reduction to enhance egress into restrictive key ways. They are designed to be useful for locks having narrow key ways and to provide some more strength than the 0.015 picks.
Please note that these picks are specially designed to provide you access in narrow key ways where standard picks will not fit. This reduction in width comes at a logical cost in rigidity. Using these picks in wider key ways means you will lose the side to side lateral support for your pick that a narrow key way provides. If you are heavy handed you may find that these picks will try to flex sideways, or even bend under high pressure in locks with wide key ways.

Standard hook in .018
This pick works when the .025 standard hook won’t, I’ll have to get another standard hook in .015 round out my standard hook selection.

Great pick
Sport picker here. This is my go-to "jack" pick. I probably use it for 90% of the locks I pick. Very sturdy, I have a few because when they break (usually my fault) I like to have a backup

Excellent Feedback Great Hook!
I recently switched to using this as my main short hook. I started using sparrows when I first got into lock picking. I started 3d printing handles and ended up making a very nice pick. HOWEVER, there is a reality here that's just hard to beat. The petersens short hook still provides the best feedback for me than any other pick. One thing I with I could do is buy a petersens short hook in .018 that doesn't have a handle. I don't mind if it isn't full tang either.

Hook 1 Euro Slender 0.018
Beginner at lock picking and not the best at it but glad I got the euro hook 1. The feel of it in my hand and the feedback I get is better then what I have been using in my opinion. Great fit and finish and quality built tool. Thanks.

Awesome pic
When I made my order I got a standard pic of each size and this one is the one I use most it’s the perfect size for open keyways and para centric keyways all while still being stout enough to apply pressure as needed

Strength where it Counts
This euro pick is slim enough to fit even the most paracentric keyways while still providing the strength for the over-tensioner in me. The finish is beautiful and the feel is unparalleled. Worth every penny!

Favorite Pick
I used this pick over 90% of time. Great profile with great handle!

Slender hook 1 .018
Best picks for the money. Plenty strong enough to apply pressure when you need it. Plastic handles make for great feedback. Much stronger than sparrows and much much cheaper than multipick and probably just as strong. You won't regret the purchase!

One of the best all around picks on the market!
Peterson picks in .018" are some of the best on the market. I pick a wide variety of American and Euro locks and the Peterson Hook 1, 7, and Gem are my goto. These picks fit in the tightest of keyways, yet are strong enough to get past the most stubborn spool pins. With these 3 picks I can get in almost every lock. I love how Peterson is differentiating itself from the market and innovating with the perfect pick thickness. The Peterson handles are just a bonus and really help you have a firm grasp on your pick. I can't count the number of time a competitors handleless pick has slipped while deep in the lock causing me to bend my thinner picks. The Peterson handle gives me the tight and precise feedback that no other pick does. And I know. I have tried all the brands from all the different countries around the world.
