Hi Guys,

I wonder if anyone could help? I'm at the stage where i'm putting together my selection of tools. The next purchase on my list is a quality curtain pick set.. The obvious choices seem to be The LTC or The ICL.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as to which one to go for? Are they pretty equal? Or does one have a superior build quality etc? Any replies would be gratefully received.

 

Matt.

Of course I am bound to recommend the LTC ! In all honesty the only thing I would say is that the wires I do for the pick are far better in my view as a lot more time is taken with them and every wire is tested.

 

The other main difference is the removable 'snib' on the T-bars on the LTC picks.

I would say go for the LTC.

 

The reason for this is as Jay say's, the wires on the ICL are very poor qaulity, they look like the guy was p****d when he made them !

 

I've had a few tools from ICL, and I would have to say their customer service leaves a lot to be desired as well. Go for the LTC mate !

i would say the ltc as the icl is not an easy pick to use. i have talked to the head of the icl on a forum about the pick and he said it was rubbish and that when i called it his pick he said it is not mine. so a man in guildford who trains for icl must have made it.


you get a lot more for your money with jays pick....
