I think that it would work ok. I am going to try to make one. I'll use a kitchen spatchula.

I have the e book.. And it has that wrench in it.. The text looks messed up.. (not in order)... I don't know if I can post it in the open forum because of the copy right junk.

If I can please tell me..

I have that book. I dunno about the rest of you guys who have seen and read it but Steve Hampton has got to be smoking something totally wicked to be able to come up with some of his lockpick tool designs.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Wow, dragon wrench... catchy name haha though I can't say I've ever heard of it. Although when I saw the post I was thinking 'Wow... I've got to see this.'


Looks pretty hot though, can't wait for pics!


How big would it be? I'm not gonna lie I have very little knowledge of making tools and whatnot but it seems like since it's got different parts in different areas it'd be kinda... wide? Seperate wrenches would be slimmer wouldn't they?

In Steven Hamptons book he says you will need .035-inch stainless steel stock. The piece should be 3 1/2 inches by 1 1/4 inches..

You might have not seen it because Steven Hampton is the creator and you can't buy them as said in the first post.
