A treasure chest normally requires a key, but if you have this tool with you, you can still open the chest and take the loot. Players will need to craft a lockpicking tool, but note that there are 3 levels of these tools (V1, V2, and V3). To craft them, you will need a High-Quality Workbench.
These can be unlocked at levels 16, 28, and 51 in the Technology tab.
