Hi Peter, all the inspiration has to go to Brummie for this. I just took his design and tweaked it a little. I am super pleased with the results. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look🙂👍🏻

I'll never ever do this but I thoroughly enjoyed this

Well done Roy, you can not beat the old bent nail, my favourite tension tool 👍

I think I have to agree. It's easy to make and it really does work well. I found myself more and more leaning towards it. I am even starting to make kits up for specific locks using both bent nail tension wrench designs. Ove again Brummie, thank you for the inspiration. I never wanted to spend so much on keener lock tools so was just cooking to stick with pin tumblers. Then it happened 🤣 I watched you bending nails and other objects. That made it easily possible to make your own at a very low cost.

What a wonderful video on making a tension tool. I do the exact same except I file the bend completely flat. But I am going to remake all my tensioners with a grove in them, thanks so very much for the idea and the silver soldering tips. 🙏🙏🙏👍🦊

Go for it Jack. The groove stops all the slack when picking. It works a treat, remember to make sure to extend the flat part a little outside the lock hole. I would love to know how you find picking with it when you have done it. Thanks for watching Jack.

Excellent video. I’ve always wondered how these were made.

This is an adapted version of the bent nail tension wrench, it keeps the pick wire stable from moving around. It might not be a GJ Locks lock pick or an Andy Mac but it works well and looks ok. Cheers Derek 🙂👍🏻

I know what you mean, I look back over peoples videos and suddenly I notice I have missed one or two. This concept of creating a groove for the pick wire helps with pick placement when picking, and it does feel somewhat like a 2 in 1 pick. Cheers for stopping by to take a look : )

The tension wrench tool can be made with basic tools as Brummie has shown. The tools I use allows ne to speed up the process. Belt/disk sander you can use a file. If you don't have a Dremel or similar tool you can use a hacksaw and thin file. That kitchen blow torch isn't necessary, you can just make the nail a super tight fit. You do need a drill though. I have the advantage of good tools at home and at work. Thanks for watching Mr Deadlocks.

I think Brummie uses lead solder. Yes lead solder will work although silver solder is a little stronger. Just banging the smaller nail in the hole works ok too. I have used a little thread lock as well to assist before using silver solder. Thanks for watching Paul 🙂👍🏻
