HOW TO: Feather touch tension tool

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

With regard to the spring style at the begining of this post, all I did was solder a female spade style crimp connector to each end of the spring and was then able to slip both ends of the wrench into the connectors. The beauty of this is that you now have something of a "universal style" wrench because you can make several different sizes of ends and change them at will.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!

^Freakin' genius kromedge! :wink:
Although I enjoyed the OP's submission the convex edges on the cooled solder screamed
"cold joint". I wanted an alternative to JB Weld.
The feeler gauge looks like a neat way to solve my ham fistula afflicted maladroitness.
(as I've put one eye out while picking my nose... :roll: )
These are great suggestions nonetheless and I really enjoy this site's collection of creative
thinking members.
