What are the most common tension tools?

Postby SnowyBoy » 19 Nov 2006 10:05

I had a go with my bench grinder last night at making some tension tools, but i'm getting a bit lost on what a good standard size is which will fit a range of locks.

Anyone got pictures of their most commonly used tension tools?

Thanks :D
