Pickering Tool

[Johnny Tremain]

I just got my order from ToTW and let me tell you
their Pickering tool (small) fits my Chambers Late ketland lock, like it was made for it.

If any of you are looking for a good flinter combo tool, check this out.

I wasnt a big fan of ToTW, but thier cheap postage and quality stuff, has made me a happy shooter.

Just be careful of that vent pick. I had one that was well made (not from Track of the Wolf) and the pick was hardned. It would have reamed the vent into a huge hole in no time if used carelessly.

I rarely pick mine. Im one of those blown down the barrel types. I can hear that its clear.

If not I happen to carry a quill that I use.

I fitted it to my insert, and buzzed a tad off the end to make it nice and loose.

The screwdriver parts work fantastic on the lock

 

Alot of the old vent picks were copper or brass--they are too soft to hurt the vent hole, but hardened steel sure could over time. I make vent picks out of heavy gauge brass and copper wire--real easy to do--cut off a proper length, bend a loop in one end and taper/sharpen the other to fit your vent hole...the copper ones bend easily and get out of shape, but are easily replaced. They were often called "priming wires".

I'd cut that "pick" part off. It'll raise the very devil with your hand when you rummage in a bag. And being tempted to use it as a vent pick is a very bad thing.
