I didn't see any tubular tension wrenches while looking through the tubular pick selection on lockpickshop.com or Southord. or HPC.


Do you mean the bit of wire on the first page?

If so then yes anything that you can push the pins in with works, a paper clip would work if you so wanted to,

I dont recall any tension wrenches being sold, that picture is a copy from the stephen hampton book and the wrench used is supposed to be his design, ive heard a lot of bad about it and few good,

A lot of people use a ground up allen key, as long as its a tight fit with sharp corners and square sides it will be ok,
