It does not really matter where you put the tension wrench in the lock as long as you can comfortably apply the proper turning force on the plug and still have room to maneuver your pick.

This seems like a completely reasonable question to me, and I observe that it didn't take the actual respondents any longer to answer it than it took the rest of you to abuse the asker.
