You have to admit though that those tension wrenches are unique. I made a couple of the fixed ones. They do take some getting used to but I really like them. They don't go very deep into the keyway so they're really better suited for picking mounted locks as they will easily fall out of the lock and having a free hand, not just a finger, for the wrench is necessary. The adjustable ones do have longer "tines" but the fixed ones are very short/shallow due to the manufacturing process and material limitations.

Still doesn't justify the cost but you can't buy those wrenches, not even knockoffs, anywhere else.
