I'm using a standard set of Southord pickset and a homemade tension wrench. I think my picks are too tall for icores' keyways.

Could you show me some tools that works for you?

I have this set from Peterson, http://peterson-international.com/images/IC-GS-2.gif but I find it difficult to use majority of the time. The pick tools are great but the tension wrenches are just too long and is prone to slipping out of the ejector holes in the control sleeve.

Now I just use this tension wrench instead, http://peterson-international.com/image ... LOW-UP.gif . I can't always get the lock to open at the control shearline with this wrench but I can still get it open one shearline or the other eventually.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

I use a flat 5 wrench from peterson. The wrench with no serrated teeth and I can pick a Falcon to Control and Operating at will with it.
