If you are adjusting an auto slack you need a new slack adjuster. Out of adjustment means you have a problem. Not get a tool and fix it. Do a 6 pack they call it which is just hard brake presses performed twice and reset them. If they don’t. You ends a new slack. Save your money and toolbox space. These tools are useless and unsafe unless you are installing slack adjusters.
I dont understand why you need to "release the lock". Can someone explain why this is necessary please.
If you don’t release the lock you can break your slack adjuster when doing a quarter turn
