Tension Wrench - Short Twist Flex

Interesting Fact: When lockpicking is shown in movies and television shows, the tension wrench is almost always omitted. Picking a pin and tumbler lock without torsion is impossible unless there is a major defect in the lock. In some modern dramas (such as FOX's 24) in which realistic depiction of events is favored, the pick-and-wrench technique is fully shown (albeit often executed in a second or two, which doesn't accurately reflect the luck involved with raking an unfamiliar lock).
