Tension wrench very comfortable for my finger!

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.

Tension wrench very comfortable for my finger!

Yesterday I was throwing away an empty spray bottle and noticed it had a nice blue trigger... I love blue!
So I saved it and superglued it to a tension wrench. Now my thumb finger has an extremely comfortable place to rest on.
Now this tension wrench is more comfortable CCW. If I use it CW my finger has to sit on the back of the trigger. It doesn't hurt my finger but is not as smooth as the right side is.

I'm not sure about the feedback: maybe the plastic will reduce it. I have to play with it for a few days to find out how it works.

Cheers :)

Nice idea not to mention very thrifty!

A follow up would be nice, as I'm interested in knowing how much this effects the torsion tools feedback.

Thanks for sharing :)

Try cutting the plastic down the middle length-wise, then you'll have one for CW and CCW that will sandwich nicely for a smooth finish.
