(213) Making a bent nail tension wrench work like a 2 in 1 lock pick

- I haven't done a 'making video' for a while so in this video I take Brummie Lock Picker's bent nail tension wrench idea and try to make it work like a 2 in 1 lock pick. Try making one for yourself and give it a go.
One of Brummie's videos:

That 2 in one tool was very well made my friend , it makes it all the more sweeter when it does the job it was made for
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.
@@roysammons2445 Cheers Roy, glad I helped you save a few quid, donations are always welcome 🤣🤣🤣
@@BrummieLockPicker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻💸💸💸💸💸
The 440 or 660 are both on the list to pick, I'll definitely give this a try, very informative and easy to follow video!
Good idea Roy it will help keep the pick wire aligned with levers 👍
Exactly!!!
It works a treat. Almost as good as a 2 in 1 but cheaper and easier to make.
Cheers for watching Steve 🙂👍🏻
Brilliant work Roy! I need to work on a couple of these!
These tension wrenches are not perfect for every lock but they don't half help with picking in the vast array of locks they do work in. i thoroughly enjoyed the project and recommend everyone to give it a whirl and see what they think for themselves.
thanks for stopping by ; )
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.
Realy Great job ❤!!!
Excellent video. I’ve always wondered how these were made.
Originally it was Brummies design, I just tweaked it a bit.
Cheers Snake for dropping by ; )
Great job. That works a beaut
Oh I really enjoyed that, love seeing people making little tools. Nice one mate 👍 🍻
A modification on Brummies design that seems to work a treat. It feels really good to use.
Thanks for the view and comment.
@@roysammons2445 I need to get myself a Squire so I can make myself one of these 😂 I've just watched Foxy's video on the subject :-)
Nice well made tension tool and well picked
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 🙂👍🏻
@@roysammons2445 It looks good and does the job and far cheaper than the two in one picks that we would normally cut down the upstand to suit the different keyway of the lock.
Awesome video and work!!!
Super step by step shots of the work in progress!! One of the best I have seen!! Thanks buddy!!! 🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🇬🇧🍻
Aww Chris that's awesome coming from you. Please give it a go and then pick a lock and let us all know what you think.
Thanks for watching Chris and the very kind words.
Sweet vid Royston Thanks very informative!
I tried to make it simple and informative. I an happy it came across that way.
Chess for watching 🙂👍🏻
Don't know how I missed this, nice work Roy, something I may have to try🙏👍😁
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 : )
@@roysammons2445 it's a great idea, I seem to have a problem with the wire travelling across the filed dwn section while I'm trying to pick. Thanks for sharing Roy🙏👍😁
Extremely clear step by step video of the process for making this lock picker. A very pleasant clip to watch. Very good instructional video - from the point of view of someone who doesnt know the first thing about locks!!
Hi John.
I'll just pop round and let myself in then 😉👍🏻.
Thanks for the comment.
@@roysammons2445 varnish the doors for me while you're there!
@@johntate5722 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Superb!
One word says it all - I totally agree 😂.
Thanks for watching and commenting, very much appreciated.
Super 👍😊
I am well pleased with the results of this tool.
Cheers for watching.
Awesome instructional video 👍👍 ok i have to try this at some point. Thanks for sharing this 👍
Please dho give it a go and let me (all of us) know what you thunk.
Thanks for watching.
Nice
This thing works really well and is just about long enough to put in a door (not just a lock) and open it.
Appreciate you watching, thank you.
Very well done
Thanks Steve, that means a lot coming from you, your work speaks for itself. I tried not to use all the tools at my disposal like the bench press, I just used my hand drill.
Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏻
@@roysammons2445 I love to use the power tools I have just to save time but before those I would use hand tools and I still use hand tools when needed, the best tools are the ones that are used
@@StevesLockPicking Couldn't agree more 🙂👍🏻
Nicely done Roy. Looks like you have a very usefull collection of tools👍
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.
@@roysammons2445 I lack tools. All my lever lock picking stuff was made with hand tools and a lot of time
@@Deadlocks86 Me thinks a giveaway is coming up for my 800th video.
@@roysammons2445 ooh. Il be watching out for that👍🥳
Congrats on the many videos👍
@@Deadlocks86 🙂👍🏻
Decent
Thanks for the comment. If a picture can paint a thousand words why can a word paint a thousand pictures 🤣.
Cheers for watching .
@@roysammons2445 yer welcome.
Roy, I enjoyed watching you make that, thank you. Question:- Do you have to use silver solder, I'm an electronic technician so will lead solder (or its equivalent) do the job? I've never used silver solder.
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 🙂👍🏻
@@roysammons2445 I have thought about threading the nail and using a bolt to tension the lock , but not sure that the bolt would be strong enough and not bend.
@@sotonlock7894 I've considered threading nails at different lengths but it's much easier just to divert one in and make another a different length.
I think a bolt would bend ok.
@@roysammons2445 heat the nail with the hole, hammer in the peg nail, job jobbed :-)

Thank you for watching and for commenting.🙂👍
Just goes to show that the tool manufacturers are basically ripping people off with their over inflated prices
Simply Made tools work just as well. A bent nail and a groove is all you need.
Thanks for watching.
great job and information 👍🤘🦾
Thank you.
I wanted to share my Hybrid version of Brummies tension tool. I was so pleased with it because it even felt like you were (almost) using a 2 in 1 pick.
Thanks for stopping by.
