why do we put 2 tension wrenches in the lock?
thanks, Jc

Wiz is your man for this one, I'm sure you've noticed wiz mention the word "slew" in a couple of his videos. Well the slew is the free movement of the tension wrench within the keyway allowing the wrench to move back and for with ease.
If your wrench binds in the keyway then by adding another smaller tension wrench at the top, it creates like a kind of dome effect because the keyway is curved, so the first wrench inserted is no longer in contact with the sidewall because the second tension wrench is in the way which removes any binding issues.
that's pretty much it in a nutshell.
