I said no to the question because it was asking about picks, but I do think that the tension wrenches are something that need to be seriously considered.

Feeler gauge and others work great, but hacksaw blades are more accassable IMO and cheeper. I just picked up some for 10 for a $1. Also feeler gauges are smaller, some might not like that. But they do work great.
