My Tension wrenches

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

They look nice but because they are nails and very strong you wont know when your using the rite amount of tension. Like a wiper blade you use the tension til the handle of wrench bends a tiny bit this is how you know your using the rite amount but nice wrenchs :D

That is what I tried to say Jason13, it's hard to know the amount of force to use but it works well in most locks. :P

A wiper blade is the ruber bit which washes your car's windscreen.

A 'wiper-blade insert' is the thin piece of metal which is found stuck to the back of the rubber bit. You use wiper-blade inserts to make the wrenches, not wiper blades.

I got a genuine Dremel today - £60.

I had some crappy knock-off, noddy brand dremel replica that sucked arse before.

I have to say the dremel is worth every penny :D

I have to say that I've got a fairly impressive Dremel set so far. I'll have to post pictures when I get the chance.

Quick note on dremels. Ive had mine for years now, but if you are thinking of purchasing one, I would highly recommend u do not get a cordless as mine is. The battery just does not last near long enuf to make picks. I suppose I can think of a few uses for a cordless dremel, but I wouldnt advise it for everyday use.
