made my own NICE tension wrench

[oblique465]

i am a complete lock pick noob attempting to open my sentry 1150 fire proof safe... I was searching around my shed to see if i could find any good material to make a tension wrench out of, viola. I stumbled across these type of staples ive never seen before its hard to explain, i wish i had a picture. They are really long, thin and sturdy enough so they wont bend at all while trying to pick a lock, but not so sturdy that you cant bend them. It was so easy to bend into an L shape, i bent two of the staples that were stuck together and it looks almost identical to the one you can buy offline, just though i would share that

If they are to easy to bend that might be a problem.

Post a picture if you can.

Sounds like shingle or wood staples. I've used shingle staples too, those work good, but they're a little too stiff, and break easily.
