Hey everyone, I want to show you my collection. I would like to hear some ideas for other types.
Thanks..

Maybe one of these?

Or a circular tension tool?...I think I saw a thread somewhere about making one from a bottle top.

How do you like your triple twist wrench? Anything unique about the feedback you get on it, or is it really just a novelty.

Nice! I like your version of the pronged wrench. Do you mind sharing with us what you used to bond the 3 pieces together?

That is cool!

Did I see a tensioner up near the top for a SFIC lock?

oh my good god gosh lord, thats a hell of a collection, how do you store them? you have a case?

yeah it looks like a SFIC for moving you know what. anyways yeah feather touch is missing. beond that you seem to have just about anything you would need. But hell you can never have enough tension wrenches.

Yeah. Out of the 24 different pick tools I have in my case I usually only need to use my short hook but out of the eight different tension wrenches I carry I've needed every single one of them.

I use that one the most. I like that you can pick which side you want to push on. I get really good feedback from it.

I used 5 min epoxy and instant super glue. If you grind and sand the surface, so you get little lines going all different ways, you can get a really good bond. The metal will bend a snap before the bond breaks.

Yes, I had my wife make a case for all my picks and wrenches.

All of them are made from wiper blades. I went to the auto wreckers and bought like 10lbs of the metal strips from wiper blades and 7 door locks for $20. I also played with my car opening toys. I started to make slim picks from them, so far so good. I will post some pics when I'm done.

by **Eyes_Only** » 18 Dec 2007 8:53
