Richard,
I just do it for fun now, you know, padlocks and old cylinders lying around the house. Sometimes for a relative or trusted neighbor to save them $75.00 or a busted window.
I use a Rigid HPC Wrench and hand-filed it down to fit in Y1s and that works good. I hate light wrenches, I can never feel a damned thing with them, although some feel the same way 'bout the heavies.

And the same goes for a knife...
And, I'm a Usual Suspect.
