I spent about 15 min rummaging around to see if i had anything worth using even before considering watching a video on how to make one. Luckily, my eyes caught sight of an old wiper blade in my scrap pile and I'm happy I'm on the short track along with your well-detailed tutorial that will mean the addition of a few new tools to my latest hobby, thanks for the video!

I just made a fairly good tension wrench from a piece of bike radius that a hammered the tip flat. really works. when you reduce the size it really becomes stiff

Good thing winters happening soon and were getting new windshield wipers

Great idea, I've bought a lock pick set on a budget and the tension tool just made out of mild steel. Thanks for sharing.

What a great tutorial, thank you very much for sharing your expertise.

This is a well made video. I just wanted to share that Peterson makes a great tool for this. Its on their web site and its a forming tool just for making tension wrenches. I have one and its awesome! Not to take away from your tutorial, its very well done! Just wanted to share. 😊

wow that intro animation is so beautiful

This is really smart, you just got yourself a subscriber

Thank you broman!

Thanks , moe

You're alive!

Very Good!...

I reheat my twist bend and quench so it’s not too soft at the twist. The first heating to twist it, anneals the metal

2:48 It looks like the tensions wrenches spin around and say "Huh? What? Where?"

5:22 You really thought haha

Bro, Where have you been? It has been lonely on KZread without your videos!

I’m fucking jamming to the music chose for this video 😂

I did not need my propane torch for heating. I used a flambéin lighter as used in the kitchen. Needed a good big one (10 Euros), however. A smaller one (4 Euros), useful for lighting sylvester crackers, did not get the iron hot enough. In my tiny hobby corner, a lighter is much more convenient than the big torch, and less dangerous.

Maybe do something with matches again?

Can you teach us how you made that match pistol from a few years back.

Dude, this iron is very sensitive, flexible and quickly breakable. Is there another iron or method that makes it more solid?

Heat wherever you plan to bend it. I used a Mapp gas torch....gets it red hot in seconds.

It’s not iron. It’s stainless steel

i also made some with very short bends (approx 0,5 cm) to be used tok without touching the first pin....

Does heating them with the torch to make the 90° twist make them more brittle?

Can you share the dimensions of the ends? I see in the video, but was hoping for that info in the details.

MILLIMETRES!!!!

What's the other thing you use not the tension wrench

dont forget heating up the steel fire red then dunkin it in water gives it much added strength as well

Never worked for me. Makes it brittle.

@@wwhb4780 probably good for any bending to heat first with a torch. I got a old wire fish that the coil is broken in a bunch of places that is probably a better material for this kind of tool and shaping that without snapping it will require heating but it will be more spring like probably.. .

Doing that will harden the metal, provided it has a high carbon content. It WILL break when you use it. Do not do this.

The ones I find are this not wide

the music track doesn't seem to match what you listed

Heating the spring steel makes it not spring steel anymore you have to re quench it and temper the tension wrenches to proper strength.

for the purpose of lockpicking this is adequate. Quenching and tempering is unnecessary.

Simple! Your right on some poor quality wiper inserts!!
