Tension

Postby pyrodude145 » 29 Mar 2005 9:11

It all depends for me on what kind of tension wrench i'm using. They make about 3 basic kinds as all of us know and you can make them like that too. Look at your lock and try all 3. Pretty soon you'll get the hang of which tension wrench for which kind of lock. Good Lukc and good picking.

I woud have to say there's a bit more than 3 different kinds of tensioners. Then add in the variety of sizes, and 30 is probably a closer number.

keep a screwdriver or two with you for a case like this... pick the lock and then turn it with the screwdriver or something harder. tension wrenches are called "tension" wrenches not "turning" wrenches :wink: ha ha

i went to the dollar store and bought a couple of cheap ones with diff size heads and filed them as needed and then broke off the plastick handle and bent it like a tension wrench. It didn't need the handle just extera bulk and plus then i have an extera tension wrench if needed.
What if I pick "Pandora's Box"?
