What to use for tensions tools
A common question and one I was just asked about is what to use for tension tools, and where do I find them. I will tell what I use and maybe some of our good pickers can add suggestions as well. Street sweeper bristles work great, some people don't have street sweepers where they live that use metal but for those that do, you need to walk the streets along side the sidewalks and look for the metal, what I do sometimes is actually walk behind the sweeper whenever I need more metal and if I hear the machine working. What I have also used alot is the metal strips in wiper blades, most all vehicles with the exception of some of the fancier model wipers, have two metal strips in each wiper, these make decent tools and tension wrenches, tell your family and friends you want there wipers when they change them, and also hit up junk yards and auto shops. Also something I have never had the opportunity to use is bike spokes, I here they work great if you flaten one end of a spoke and bend it the way you want it.
I have been in the souls of many women, but I always end up on the soles of there shoes.
