1.a. An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.
b. A work, such as a literary piece, composed of both borrowed and original material.
2. The art of creating such compositions.
3. An assemblage of diverse elements: a collage of conflicting memories.
How can anybody go there?
I had made a few similar spare keys for old padlocks out of old phone/credit /student cards, but the litte tension wrench thingie is a really nice addition to this .
A plastic key even made from a soda bottle will open a lock as long as you have a strong enough TENSION WRENCH or LOCK TURNER. The 'teeth" of a key only have to move PINS or TUMBLERS in line so that the lock cylnider can then be turned. If your plastic is stiff enough it can act as a turner and 'emergency' Wallet Key are avalibile at most locksmith shops. Note that if you go to to the website that is mentioned for a TENSION WRENCH it sells plastic keys and describes how to cut them with a hobby knife http://www.avoidlockedout.com.
The author just did a demonstration of the information avalibile at the web site.
A TENSION WRENCH can be made with a L shaped allen wrench and a file or a piece of thin flat spring steel

Nice video though, I can clearly see what 's going on.
PRICE OF KEY DUPLICATING ACROSS THE GLOBE:
Australia: $10
Canada: $4
Walmart: $0.10
K.S.A.: $1.30
fortunare's hometown: $0.79
What I learned from all this: Get your real keys made at Walmart or fortunare's. Don't buy keys in Australia. Zaphod Beeblebrox likes pudding (or just likes saying the word "pudding"). Xacto knives are like 5 bucks for a set of 3 (blades included). And when reading the comments section for any site, no matter what the post is on, you'll always, ALWAYS find somebody who has a problem with it.
I like the satisfaction of acquiring know-how, even if it's for something impractical or just for fun. At the very least, somebody could incorporate this into a cool spy movie!!
Ain't that the truth!
Back to the topic at hand, you might need to anneal street sweeper bristles before bending then into a tension wrench or they may break. Hold the bristle with pliers and heat the section to be bent with a flame (only takes a second or two with a propane torch), let it cool then do your bending. If the bristles are used they will be really cruddy, so clean/scrape/scrub/sand them thoroughly before sticking 'em into any lock you care about.
