tension wrench with springs

[eeze]

hello every one i just wanted to show what i do with my tension wrenches, i normally use flat copper welding rods and stainless steel springs,

insert as normal

i apply tension by pulling the other spring in that way the elasticity is double making it super feather touch, it works very well with an epg.

Thats a pretty awesome idea!

Nice job. But how do you feel for any feedback through the wrench?

[cowbite]

lol my favorite wrench is one i made with a short 1/2" spring between the handle and the bend. You dont have to worry about feedback *SO* much because since there is spring tension on it and not HARD spring tension, if the plug turns backwards to set a pin, it will turn anyway and still maintain tension.
I'l put a pic on here soon of it.

Awesome.

Well, he did mention that it works really well with an epg, so, I don't think you're getting much feedback other than violent shaking anyway. But an interesting idea nonetheless.

Good Idea I like that you have springs of 2 different thicknesses on one wrench. That way you can choose the amount of tension being applied!
I see some of your wrenched are twist flex design. Does it make a difference when making your spring assisted wrenches?

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about the twist flex too, especially since copper is already so soft.

im not into springy tensors, i dont even like a twistflex tensor, my favorites are the straight bent wiper blade or the peterson pribar lite...

but...

i want some man, theyre so cute lol

so i have some questions.

how do you attatch your springs and where do you get your stock...(springs and is your metal wiper inserts or what)

thanks and cool idea.

I don't know where he gets the springs, but the OP said that he was using flat copper welding sticks for stock.

by joe your right... ill pay more attention
thanks

cool idea....I'll have to try it.

I thought you had changed your picking strategies riff..........................oh i see, your going to make one like these so you can fire your trigger on the AK47 with the least amount of strain on your trigger finger lol

Nice idea we must have the same dreams, i gave up as i thought adding the spring would lose all feel in the tension , im a sucker for the straight tension tool with half a twist.
Thanks for the post , there is is some intersting t/w there - i hope they work as well for you, pop back am tell us your review

[elbowmacaroni]

uklockpicker... do you really get feedback when using a vibrator on a lock? It's a serious question that just sounds kinda funny... Time to break out the Steely Dan records and see if they can open locks...

elaberate elbow wtf
