That particular wrench is specifically for car doors, and is scaled differently than one you'd use for houses. This is secondhand information, but I've read (and common sense suggests) that to really get the benefits of the Falle wrenches, you'll need to make copies of each size of the Falle wrenches. They're so good because they allow you to get such a precise fit.

CitySpider, I beleive your referring to something that was posted on yahoo locksports a while back. And, if I also remember correctly, it just wasn't designed to pick a standard pin tumbler lock. Something about width of the fingers.

I found the tension tool on the site technik posted the link to, here is the tool: http://www.locksmith-tools-supply.com/p ... oducts.htm

It is refered to on their site as : RGN-216 Adjustable Double-Sided Car Tension Wrench Set (Special Design For Car ) , but when making this tool from scratch the fingers can be adjusted to best fit any lock you want.
