They're called "floor cleats" and have an L shape and barb-like ridges.

They go in a flooring nailer like this that puts them in the right height and angle.
Not sure if it's kosher to say in this subr, but I bought one of these (instead of renting one) because I didn't know how long it would take me and if you'd like it, send me a message.
I tend to do top of the keyway tension about 90% of the time for single pin picking. It might be worth adding a peterson prybar-lite or an equivalent TOK wrench. The non-lite version of the PPB is too thick for a great many locks so I would not consider it to be part of the bar bones kit. I've heard of people using slightly modified 18 gauge floor cleats the same way you would use a PPB-lite, but making an equivalent TOK wrench with bra wire or wiper inserts would be difficult.
