Fingersquare (or thumbsquare, whatever)

Anyone have any experiences with this kind of thing? Wondering if it's worth the effort making. Seems useful and unwieldy at the same time.

Finger in Square" tm adjusts from light tension to rigid, just by feel.

Ohhhh its not computer operated?????.... :roll:

It seems to fall under the novelty catagory, but ya never know, get the right metal and it may give good feedback.

Seems like a good idea, but i wouldn't spend $10 on something I could make for ten cents.

Have seen them online, but never used one... To me, it seems like you wouldn't get proper feedback from where your finger needs to be placed(knuckle of index finger rather than fingertips) on the tool. It also just seems a bit awkward with the bends in it that to me would also rob you of the needed feedback.

Maybe some of the others can take a look at this tool and share their thoughts. For $10 I'd just buy a handful of tension tools and mod them to my needs.

Would be interested to see if anyone in here has used one and what they think...

Maybe Cal & Falle should team up. :wink:

They could call themselves "F'calle" 'cos that's what they'd be selling.

"Sorry, what did you say?"..... My house-mate (who knows nothing about lock-picking) says "I could make that from brazing rod."

I could make (and have made) a perfectly functional tension wrench which adjusts from 'light' to 'rigid' from an Allen key. :wink:

It blows my mind, to see what crap people will try to market as a 'proper' locksmithing tool. :twisted:

Heh, yeah, they make it seem like the ability to change the amount of tension is a miracle of modern technology.

he took this http://www.thumbsquare.org/tspc.html bent it and grinded it....

Priceless how both are sold on the same site. I guess there really is one born every minute.

by **WhiteHat** » 19 Oct 2004 23:43

ack! does that mean that the tension wrench is plated with 24ct gold!!!??!

by **Kung** » 20 Oct 2004 10:09

its most likley still brass.

I think its good to see a multi purpose tension wrench, none of mine can double up as paperclips,i feel inadequate now.......... :shock:

by **Varjeal** » 20 Oct 2004 10:36

Oh my....well...I guess it would work. 'Cept that by the time you're done fitting that thing on your finger the lock could be picked normally and removed from the door...oh well. I guess 380 or so people have bought it.
:roll:

by **CaptHook** » 20 Oct 2004 20:13

Im wondering if those 380 think that it picks locks by itself? :shock:
