This week, we had a surprising-yet exciting-visit from one of the most respected and familiar faces in the locksmith industry. Yes, that’s right; Ken Peterson dropped into TradeLocks HQ for a fleeting appearance, and he was more than welcome! The 6th Annual Locksmiths Expo down in Nottingham proved to be such a huge success, and we were sorry that the event had to come to an end. So it was met with a huge sigh of relief that we had something else to look forward to after all of the weekend’s goings-on. We supply the largest range of Peterson tools on the market, and have just recently introduced some brand new products into the range, which meant that he came at EXACTLY the right time!
Ken Peterson is a true professional; dedicated, hard-working and tireless in his efforts. Each and every one of his incomparable tools has been designed with durability and effectiveness in mind, and he continues to impress with his innovative and unique designs. Take his fantastic collection of resilient, versatile Knife Tools; for example. The P Knife Peterson Knife Tool can open a lock in SECONDS, and we found this out first-hand when our skills were put to the test. And the feeling of opening a lock for the first time was unbelievable! Mini Knife Tools are not as thick as the standard Knife Tool, but they are ideal for opening older master locks and thumbturn locks.
All you need to do is depress the shackle to get the load off and then you lift. It really is as simple as that! Out of all the Peterson Picks and Tools on offer, the most common by far are those which have a hook or diamond on the end, e.g. Diamond or Hook Stainless Slenders. And in order to ensure that these quality tools remain in pristine condition all year round, there are a variety of Peterson Cases for you to choose from.
You can opt for CO NO LOGO Peterson Eagle Series Case-No Logo, CO NTF Peterson Tri-Fold Nylon Case or the CO EDC 3.75 Peterson Nylon EDC Case-3.75” Wide; all of which come complete with a soft foam lining so that even the most delicate tools are safeguarded from potential damage. If you want to house your tools comfortably and snugly without spending a fortune then Peterson Cases present the perfect solution.
Hands-on, practical demonstrations are the most effective way of getting to grips with locksmith tools, and there is no finer teacher than Mr Peterson himself! Of course; it goes without saying that he has a wealth of knowledge under his belt as regards handling Peterson tools (after all, he came up with these designs), but in order to ensure that even novices can operate Tension Tools, Pick Guns and Knives without encountering any problems things have to be explained carefully, with an eye for detail.
Hence the reason why everyone at TradeLocks was determined to showcase their skills and work with confidence and proficiency after an extra special tutoring session from the manufacturer and creator of Peterson Tools. Ken had travelled all the way from the US of A in order to attend the 6th Annual Lock Expo, and decided on a whim to make his way to TradeLocks so that we could benefit from his advice and experience.
From Peterson Flat 5 Serrated Tool Tension Sets to Peterson Pry Bars (with and without Teeth); he covered such a diverse spectrum of subject matters, and even conducted a Q&A session at the end of the tutorial! He also discussed how to handle Over the Plug Spinner Tip tools (which have only just been added to the collection) as he was ever so keen to offer as much insider information as possible, especially when it came to making sure that we knew exactly what each tool does; and the purpose which they are specifically intended for.
So now that we have a more in-depth insight into how Peterson tools work, and why they are so unique and innovative, it is now our turn to make sure professionals across the UK and Ireland are aware of how useful they can be. Peterson tools are truly in a league of their own, and stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
