Turning Tools for Lock Picking

Shop turning tools from Covert Instruments - the piece you rest in the keyway to apply light, steady turning pressure on the plug while you pick. You will also hear these called tension wrenches or tension tools; it is the same tool, we just call it a turning tool because turning the plug is its actual job. Whether you are picking your first lock or dialing in your feel, this is every turner we make in one place.
