Re: A few questions about which to buy....

Honestly, buy some and make the rest. Every lock has its own specific tension wrench needed. The more you have, the more locks you'll be able to pick. I carry about 8 in my pick case. Two I bought and the rest made from locks and situations needed. I like the Rigid HPC tension wrench tho...never leave home without it.

Myself if I was to buy tension tools I would buy some Peterson's or make my own. As for the plug spinner, I don't like the Peterson and I don't really care for the HPC, it has a hard push on the button, I have a couple of A1 plug spinners and I swear by them. If you do want an HPC plug spinner in almost new condition, shoot me a P.M.

go to lockpickshop.com and go to there plug spinners, the one I have is what they call the pocket spinner. I forgot that a1 has more than one spinner they try to sell.

Re: A few questions about which to buy....

Here's a plug spinner you already have in your toolbox: Clamp a medium-tension turning tool in a small pair of vice-grip pliers, with about 4 inches protruding. Hold the cylinder plug firmly with a small-tipped screwdriver and insert the spinner. Twist it as far as you dare in the direction you want the plug to turn. (It's a good idea to begin with the plug about 15 to 20 degrees from relocking). With the spinner under this pressure, quickly release the screwdriver. Naturally, you'll still want to buy a dedicated plug spinner, but this is the way we did it in the day there were no such tools!

BTW: The better you get at picking, the less you'll need the plug spinners. I have about half a dozen, and they're the dustiest tools I own.
