Re: peterson flat 5?

has anyone here actually measured the amount of torque or pressure they are using while opening a lock? if not I might try to find the time to test on a few of the locks I have.
I would be especially curious to the amount of pressure Xeo uses as he has snapped prybars.
The tension used should vary while picking and from lock to lock, and I am pretty sure most prefer the stiffer tension wrenches because they provide more feedback. Well they do for me at least..
