Tubular locks come in various sizes such as 6, 7, and 8-pin locks and are similar in design and function. Used by a simple insertion into the lock and turning the lock clockwise with a medium level of tension. When the tubular lock is pushed further into the lock, it forces the pins to open one by one slowly until they stop consequently binding driver pins.
Modern tubular locks are complemented by a decoder which allows the locksmith to perceive the depths at which the shear plane was broken by the pins; this technique saves the cost and hassle of replacing a lock.

Tension wrench
The tension wrench or better known as the torque, this is a tool used to pick locks. The torque or tension wrench is "L" shaped this instrument is used to exercise torsion to the inner cylinder of a lock, this is done to hold previously picked pins, if any, in their place, while the lock smith shifts the other pins are the inner cylinder is tehn turned by the tension wrench and the lock is opened.

Pneumatic Torque Wrench $68.51 A pneumatic torque wrench is a planetary torque multiplier or a gearbox that is mated to a pneumatic air motor. At the end of the gearbox is a reaction device that is used to absorb the torque and allows the tool operator to use it with very little effort. The torque output is adjusted by controlling the air pressure. These planetary torque multiplier gearboxes have multiplication ratios up to 4000:1 and are primarily used anywhere accurate torque is required on a nut and bolt, or where a stubborn nut needs to be removed. The pneumatic torque wrench is sometimes confused with a standard impact wrench, because it looks similar, but is actually a totally different tool. A pneumatic torque wrench is driven by continuous gearing, and not by the Hammers of an impacting wrench. This is why a pneumatic torque wrench has very little vibration, and excellent repeatability and accuracy. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
