Sparrows tensioning wheel review (97)

[@Steel-Pinnings]

I adore the concept of teaching the tension part of picking. More important than pushing up pins. But the whole point of blocking the view is well as your movement of the pick. But as a learning tool to understand the importance of tension, it is a great tool. Thanks for sharing

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Steel Pinnings exactly mate. It has its good points and some bad points. As I said for raking or pick guns it's great. For teaching tension it's great but yeah it limits your feel when spp'ing and does block your view. Thank you for watching mate I really appreciate your support. Have a great week my friend 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@Potti314]

Interesting tools, thanks for showing.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Potti314 yeah it's different. Thank you for watching my friend. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@JasonCarlson]

That is a neat little tool.... Perfect assessment! Nailed it.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Jason Carlson it is pretty cool. And thank you I will always give a non biased honest opinion on my reviews. Thank you mate 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@dazevers]

Great review my friend & they are great little tools. Have a great day

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

daz evers thank you mate. They are pretty cool. Thank you for your support mate 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@Mur-lock68]

Well Done! Not sure I could use it,would have to adjust to it! Thanks For sharing!!

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

MUR- LOCK 68 thank you mate. It's weird to use after you have spent so long with top or bottom of the keyway tensioners. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@Mur-lock68]

My thoughts exactly! Thanks for reply!!!

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

MUR- LOCK 68 I always take the time to reply to people that support my channel and comment on the videos. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@CameronDunn]

Great review. I've seen these before, but never really knew what they were for (besides tensioning obviously) or when you would use them. Now I do.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Cameron Dunn thank you mate. 😁👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

Good honest review mate 👍😎 Its a great concept and i agree with your pros and cons, and i hold the pick the same way with my middle finger resting against the lock. This tool may be good for some but not my cuppa tea. 👌😁

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Thank you bruv. I will always give my honest opinion on products. It's a good product for use with raking and maybe pick guns but it's not the best for spp. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@shualang]

Concept is very good .. needs slimming down less bulky .. iv never got to hold one but vids iv seen i get impression they block your view and are awkward if not using vice ( picking in hand ) .. good honest reveiw DALP

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Shua L yeah I see exactly the same point. They are great for some things as I said but yeah could do with slimming down. Thank you mate 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@kevenquinlan]

Funny, I watched this again, but had forgotten until seeing my comment post below me. I saw the sign on your wall and thought it said, "Keep Cocksport Legal" Lmao. I was like, is this something gay? and then was like, oh, locksport, hahaha.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Lol.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Great review! Now I understand how that works and what's it good for.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Thank you mate. I still use it for snap guns etc. 👍🥃

[@kevenquinlan]

Nice review. I plan on buying one just to fuck with it. I saw these when I started out but never bought one. Still gonna give it a whirl.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Thank you mate. I still carry one to use for raking when I may not have enough space to fit a standard tensioner. 👍🥃

[@lockhackeruk900]

Excellent and fair review mate. Out of interest what is the feedback like with counter rotation when picking spools for example. I have a new picker in the club that can't seem to feel it but I could see something like this being an excellent teaching aid as they could see the 2 red arrows moving towards each other with counter rotation.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

LockhackerUK thank you mate. To be completely honest I didn't feel the feedback from the spools in my Lockwood 334 locks. I think I didn't really feel it because it's spring loaded. But you would probably see it move with a decent spool. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@johnmccormick2883]

Very interesting concept that tool... I agree the thickness messes up the picking feel 👍🏻

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

John Mccormick yeah it's cool in theory but kinda lacks in practicality. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@Joshchaps]

would you recommend using in firefighting? quick access to locks.. ease of use w/racking?

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Yeah I don't see why not. 👍🤘🖖🍻

[@PocketWomen]

interesting gizmo. a good honest review, thanks, cheers

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Pocket Women thank you mate. I will always give my 100% honest opinion with reviews. If something is crap I will say it is. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@tomkenney5365]

Great video. I like Sparrows stuff. I have several of their training tools and they're well made and feel great in the hand. I'm a noob and still figuring it all out, but I'm like you, keeping my middle finger pretty close to the lock, sometimes on the lock, so, if this thing was a lot thinner, maybe. Also, I don't think the feel of spinning a wheel and pushing on a tension rod compare well, angle is different, one finger vs. finger and thumb. Interesting idea, but more a gimmick, which is kinda disappointing from Sparrows.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Thank you mate. Yeah sparrows are one of my favourite manufacturers. Yeah as I said in the video it has down sides as well as some good points. It's a whole new ball game to learn to use it correctly 👍🤘🖖🍻

[@Leonslockpad]

Awesome review bruv co little bit of kit😊👍😊😎😎

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Leon's lockpad thank you bruv. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@bearsback5099]

Great review my friend.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Bearsback thank you mate. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@markotb]

cant you trim the pins so the wheel sits closer to the key way?

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Yeah you can if you want to mate. 👍🤘🖖🍻

[@UNcommonSenseAUS]

hey, what kinda vice is that mate ?

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

An aldi suction cup vice cost about $15.

[@lockmania-locks]

Very cool my friend

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

lockmania it's a pretty cool tensioner. It has its advantages and disadvantages. But still awesome to use. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@WilliamMancel]

Great review.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

William Mancel thank you mate. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@crankylock7844]

Interesting review DALP. Like Funkey said, it's not my cuppa tea. A bit gimmicky for my liking. Cheers mate:-)

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

paul springett it's an interesting tensioner. And I will always give my 100% honest opinion. Thank you for watching mate 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@spwan10]

6:48 yup just about to say it's probably better for raking

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Yeah it is.

[@DonzLockz]

Good review and congrat's on 300 sub's buddy, where's the giveaway?🤔😁😉

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Don'z Lockz thank you bruv. I didn't know I hit 300. Not until I hit 400 😁. How come I haven't heard from you on Discord? 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@DonzLockz]

@@DarkArtsLockPicking Just trying to spend time doing other stuff as a bit of a break. Only watchin a few KZbin vids too.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Don'z Lockz all good bruv. Hope everything is ok. 🖖😁

[@GordonWlocksport]

Great video. I always thought these were only used for when you’re using an electric pick gun.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Gordon W thank you mate. They are designed to help beginners. But as I pointed out they would be better for raking or pick guns. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@GordonWlocksport]

Dark Arts Lock Picking yeah this was really useful, I’d always thought they were for advanced pickers as opposed to noobs and never knew it had the markers showing levels of tension! Looking forward to what’s coming up next 👍🇬🇧🥊

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

I have heard from a few lock pickers that they should not have bought it. Bill from lock lab is trying to get rid of his. I think if it teaches the newer pickers about how to use Tension. Maybe good to them. Might put one in my 007 case. Smile

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

《THUMPER》 Lock picking, Police accountability I didn't know bill was trying to get rid of his. He said in a video with these he likes them. It has some things it's good for. But I wouldn't use it all the time. Good concept. Thank you for watching mate 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@emtdragon383]

May add one to my kit, bet these are real good for automotive locks

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

So its profile needs to be a bit shorter and probably a wider diameter in the centre.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Gary Rumain yeah kinda. It's a good tension wrench but it does have a couple of disadvantages. For raking or pick guns it would be great but personally I found spp'ing using it is very difficult. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🖖🍻🖖

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

@@DarkArtsLockPicking Hudson have one as well. I wonder how they compare.

[@DarkArtsLockPicking]

Gary Rumain it would be interesting. 🖖👍🤘
