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.

raimundo wrote:the top of the keyway grip gives a tension that cannot be grounded at all by the cylinder wall, which normally takes some of the torque from single blade tensor also the tensor blade at the bottom of the keyway tends to put a tilt on the plug within the tolerance of the manufacturer, split tensio is more even, and does not tend to tilt the plug, (this is a very minute tilt, but probably not insignificant, as it would make the pins bind differently)
if his tensor fits there, in that lock or others like it, and it works for him, thats good. Thanks for the tip, I notice that the tensor in the photo is not spot welded, but appears to have two rivets, who is the manufacturer? when some of you others try this, if yours does not fit like that one does, it may be a difference in the gauge of metal or the cut of the tines,


I bought it from lockpick.ca(SouthOrd) several years ago. I'm guessing they weld it know ?
