Make your own keys?? I'm introducing a new segment called "Favorite Tools". These may be tools that you have, or just tools that are interesting and rare. Today's tool is the Pak A Punch key cutter, model 3T made by A1 Security Manufacturing. Unfortunately, at this time, A1 has stopped manufacturing the pack a punch tool. In fact, it seems they may have gone out of business. It's such a great concept and works so well! Not something for the average garage, but man is it cool! If you like unique tools or excellent machining of metalwork, you'll appreciate this tool. It's designed specifically for cutting Schlage SC1 and SC4 keys and key blanks. You can purchase different die sets for automotive keys, quickest, and other lock brands.
I'm no locksmith but this is a professional tool used by professional locksmiths. I love the concept of locks, keying, pinning, repinning, and generally how locks work.

A1 is out of business their door drilling fixture was one of the best on the market now Framon is making it actually a improved version of the original A1 - I don't use the Pak-A-Punch any more since I put electric code machines in my vans but they were like you said very well made. 😀
Good evening Ed 😊 Thank you very much for your great learning video Sir 👍👍👍 Have a great Sunday Cheers 👍😊
Thank you Dave! Cheers back!
@@MyClutteredGarage 👍😊🌞
The Pak-A-Punch rocks!I got it back in 2016 to cut keys for car locks that I practiced decoding at the junkyard.But yes, it’s a shame that A-1 went out of business, as I really wanted to get additional vises, depth knobs, and punches/dies for punching other keys.Hopefully, I can find used accessories for sale.
Parts are still available. Check with Hawley lock supply.
your next video should be decoding a lock without any key at all! Some (dis)assembly required! :) Great video, by the way - tnx
Thank you!
The old Curtis Clippers was another tool like the Pak A Punch and is still commonly available used that locksmiths use for manual cutting of keys. Unfortunately the dies (they call them cams) are mostly for automotive key cutting although there are cams for some common padlocks. I suppose someone could find a way to adapt for SC1 or KW1 key cutting.
Great video and thank you can you do a video so we can see how good your lights work on your rop at night thank you sir and have a great day
Thank you. I can tell you they are bright!
Can you work the bucket with out to much tribal
@@lawrencebessette754 - the bucket doesn’t interfere with the lights at all. A worthwhile upgrade.
Out of curiosity, do you still have this punch?
I passed it along to a co worker. But it still gets used a lot.
How did you calibrate the pak a punch to sc1 key 🔑
It came all set up for the SC1 / SC4. Thanks for watching.
You can buy different carriage/ die sets for different keyways and reuse the body itself. There’s also a calibration screw in case it’s a little off as well since these aren’t perfect and may cut a little high/ lo and may need to be adjusted.
You selling this clutter?
Haha. I’m not.
@@MyClutteredGarage ah man been trying to but one for years.
thanks anyway
PLEASE let me know when you don't want it anymore
@@KomenCents hopefully another company will start producing them again. It’s really a great tool.
@@MyClutteredGarage yeah i know, I'm really hoping on that myself!
I'll simultaneously increase my craftsmanship skills and maybe someday attempt to make one as precise and versatile.
Where can i buy one of those?
Seriously. Where can I buy one? I have had one for 10 years and it was recently stolen. I use it for my locksmith business. Can I buy yours?
@@dzaliha that stinks. Apparently they have been discontinued. It’s a great tool and I hope another manufacturer takes over. I just used mine today, so it’s not for sale. Just keep an eye out. Good luck!
I’m sad they don’t make these anymore…
This is a very cool tool to have in your cluttered garage/shop/wherever! I honestly never knew such a thing existed and this is the kind of content and video that is fascinating hope to see more like this! Thank you for sharing!! :))
Thank you, my friend!
I need a pak a punch
I hope they become available again.
Wow you have a key maker in your garage, that’s cool 😎
😁
I wish I could find a good deal fir this a1 pack a punch tool but they seem to be expensive
Hard to even find anymore. :(
Hard to believe that the Chinese haven't jumped on this product and started manufacturing them again!
True!
