yup definitely too much tension I haven't broke one in a year or so. (I did because I stepped on it not because I was picking)
Seek and ye shall find.

Thanks for the info. Ill lighten up. I don't really care about the pic I did not put too much work into it.
I need to make a better tension wrench. The one I am using has no give to it what so ever.

I make mine out of springs, they have good give but are sturdy enough to tension. I prefer them over regular tension wrenches.
Seek and ye shall find.
