Measured tension

Sparrows Tension Wheel, circular tension you can measure

The Sparrows Tension Wheel is a circular tension tool with graduated markings, so you can actually measure the tension you apply. For single-pin picking, that lets you find and repeat the right tension for a lock: rake it first to gauge the pressure, then dial in the same measured tension and pick methodically.

Why buy this

Buy this when tension is your weak point

Most stalled picks come down to tension being too heavy or too light. A measured wheel turns tension from guesswork into a repeatable number, so once you find what a lock likes you can return to it exactly.

Repeatable tension

Graduated marks let you dial the same pressure.

Find the sweet spot

Rake to gauge, then pick at that tension.

Smooth control

A wheel gives fine, steady adjustment.

Use route

Measure, then pick at the right tension

Insert the wheel, apply an average tension and rake to gauge the lock, then loosen to the measured point that felt right and single-pin pick. Practise on locks you own.

  • Use on suitable pin-tumbler locks.
  • Gauge tension by raking, then pick at that mark.
  • Keep adjustments small and steady.

Helpful next step: the Ultimate 18-piece wrench set.
