Question: 1 / 435

Which tool is not typically associated with the manipulation of lock cylinders?

Plug Spinner

Tension Wrench

Thumb Turn

Screwdriver

The correct answer is that a screwdriver is not typically associated with the manipulation of lock cylinders.

A screwdriver is primarily a tool used to drive screws in and out of various materials, rather than for picking or manipulating locks. It lacks the specific design or functionality required to interact with the internal mechanisms of a lock cylinder effectively.

In contrast, the plug spinner is a tool actually used to manipulate the pins of a lock cylinder after the lock has been picked to allow for quick access. The tension wrench is essential for applying the necessary rotational tension to the lock while picking it, facilitating the locking mechanism's engagement. A thumb turn is a part of a lock that enables manual rotation of the cylinder, again related to lock manipulation. Each of these tools has a direct purpose in the context of lock picking or manipulation, while the screwdriver does not.
