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.

My new Feather Touch Tension Tool

Postby BIGORNEX » 21 Dec 2010 13:30

Hello,

Having seen this tool on Web, I decided to make one (two).
I used "welding wire" in stainless steel of 1 mm :

Image

This faith I folded everything directly in front of the screen of my PC :

Image

Image

I used ice cream sticks and rounded the edges :

Image

Then I glued the whole together (not only the wood but also my fingers) :( :

Image

I used "heatshrink tubing" for finishing, I made 2 of these tools, one as see on the web and a finer one.

Image

I must again test them, but this will not be before Christmas I think..... :?

Interesting wrenches, let us know how they work. The tip looks a bit big to enter the keyway, but I could be wrong...

Cheers :)

yeah the tip might be a little big, but it looks like you did a great job.
