Tension wrench
A tension wrench is a tool used in picking locks. Typically shaped like a letter "L" (although the vertical part of the letter is much elongated in comparison to the horizontal part), it is used to apply tension to the inner cylinder of a lock, in order to hold any picked pins in place, while the other pins are shifted.
