How to Make Tension Wrenches for Lock Picking

I show how to make a standard bottom of the keyway tension wrenches out of windshield wiper inserts. It is very easy to do and only requires a few basic tools. The wiper inserts can be easily found from a pick-and-pull type scrap yard. The bending process is pretty straightforward but try not to make the bend curved and not too sharp or it may break. The ones I have made are comparable to the ones you would get from a lock pick kit. I modeled mine after the ones from the Sparrows Tuxedo pick kit. You can also make tension wrenches for specific locks that may be difficult to tension with more standard tension wrenches.

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!

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.

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

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

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

@paolafrege7766 6 жыл бұрын

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

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

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.

@polosiko3616 4 жыл бұрын

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

@fenderstratguy 3 жыл бұрын

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

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

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

@drewb4653 3 жыл бұрын

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

@wwhb4780 2 жыл бұрын

Never worked for me. Makes it brittle.

@NeverSuspects 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.. .

@autumn5592 Жыл бұрын

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