Those are wafer lock picks.

Things like filing cabinets, display cases, desks and the like.

Been around for a bloody long time, and they actually work quite well.

More to do with the design of small wafer locks than anything to do with the picks.

Actually, I don't need a tension wrench. All you do is jiggle them while turning them. Unless the lock is spring-loaded, you shouldn't need a tension wrench.
If all fails, use nitroglycerine.
