Also does anyone have experience with the sparrow tension wheel? How is it compared to other tension tools? I really fancy it but if it's crap there's no point.
Sparrows has lots of different sets, anyone will do really. It might be best to start small with this for instance:

Combination locks is a completely different matter and doesn't require "picks" as such, but this probe is useful for some locks:
