A standard tension wrench is made by taking slim piece of metal like a windshield wiper blade or sweeper bristles and bending them at 90 degrees so that you have a short prong that enters the keyway and a long prong that you hold with your fingers. The length of the prongs, the thickness of the metal and the chemical composition of the surface treatment you use are all matters of personal taste, but as a general template I suggest you use this letter:

For some locks you might need a thick wrench.

I use the normal end for normal tension wrenching, and the other end to turn the lock when picked.

The best way to approach this is to find a bunch of different types of suitable metal (windshield wiper inserts, sweeper bristles, maybe hacksaw blades, etc..) and a good number of different locks and just start making tension tools that fit those locks. If you do this enough, you'll have a good variety of tools that you can choose from depending upon the lock you're attacking. Basically you're looking for the "best fit"; something that doesnt interfere with picking, but fits great in the plug. You want to minimize wiggling and slippage. Tension tools really are an experimentation thing. Luckily, they aren't too hard to produce and don't take much time. I recommend experimenting with different end-shapes like tapers, serrated, short, long, twisted ends, blocky square ends, etc.. Who knows, maybe you'll discover something new and innovative. Good luck
