-pops a beer open with the tension wrench-

so it's not a beer opener? . . .
I guess it's a dual action tool for all locksmiths alike

I don't mean to come in here and sound like an ass. But why would you want a universal tensor? Is it to save space? I know many members here say all you need is a hook, rake and some tensors to get you started. But my speed doesn't come from getting good at two picks. I am good with them all. But tension is by far more key than the picks. I have more tensors than I do picks. I understand that this is universal but you would lose quite a lot of tactical feedback in something so bulky. I have a variety of feather lights all the way to an allen wrench ground down for a plug turner. (which can operate as a plug spinner with assistance of random rubber bands) To me this just seems like an inconvenience. If anyone tries this, please let me know what you think. I think I can improve upon the design.

so add the beer opener? or get several good t-tools for each type.(and beer opener)

I think a beer opener in your pick kit is a great idea! however the universal tension wrench, not so much lol I believe it would be more beneficial to have a tension tool that is comfortable to use in some locks rather than a "universal" tension tool that would be awkward and clumsy in most locks
