- The original Lishi key cutter is a great tool when used right with a little bit of practice. I highly recommend this tool. While it's no match for an actual key machine, it does a fantastic job as I shown here and it's very compact.
If you can not copy a key with it, don't blame the tool, it takes practice..
My first job in high school was copying keys with a duplicator machine (two vises, a guide and cutting wheel). I got a reputation for being able to cut keys that other people couldn't. For the most part they used the automatic machines where you flip a lever and the thing just goes. My secret - line up the shoulders and take small bites with the wheel.
30 years later I'm learning the Lishi tool so I can have more than 1 key for the project car I bought. Thank you for the clear (visually and descriptively) demonstration.
Those key machines had brass wire wheels for cleanup/softening the keys. A nylon brush on a drill would probably work as well.
Nice video tips! I'm going to revisit my Lishi cutter now, after many years. Can't believe I never sussed how to "nibble" the typically UK paracentric keys! Great job.
Well thanks so much. I had to sacrifice several keys to learn this much. But as you can see, with a bit of practice and a dash of patience you can get it wired. It's imperative to line them up good before cutting and keep checking that they didn't move. Good luck to ya
Loves the fact that you said, " I also use my Lishi as a.hammer!" 🤣 Sounds like me when I to use a tool for its unintended use when working in a pinch.
I honestly think I may go ahead and get one of these. Your videos are way better than mine, stay awesome my friend!
Thanks J, lots of practice my friend. I had to damage a few to learn this method. But yes, I highly recommend this Lishi key cutter. Be sure it has the Lishi guy on it. The original
Nicely done Al, thank you for sharing this. Sounds like going slow and incrementally Is the key here! 😊
Yes, slow and easy. Otherwise you just smash the key. I know this isn't a match for a key machine but it will do the trick in a pinch.
Great how to!!!!
Wonderful tool when you put in a bit of time to get to know it.
Well done!
🐾🐈⬛🐈🐾🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Chris, yes it is. It bugs me when I see negative comments and people blame the tool. It does take practice.
I love the Lishi key cutter! I don't really use it much but it's nice to have around
Yes, I have heard mixed reviews on it but I don’t think most are fair. They just need more practice. Don’t blame the tool.
Might have worked it out eventually, with a few mangled keys. But, very good to know first up. Thanks.😁
Yes, it took me a few keys to get it wired but now I can copy one pretty quick. Lining them up is imperative. Just a great tool
Nice tutorial. 👍
Albert "snack on them don't take big bites"
Foreign concept for most americans😆
If it works don't fix it. Yes, I had to learn the hard way, I squashed a couple keys before learning this method
@@AlbertLebel i was referring to their eating habits.😆😆😆
How dare you. I am indignant! I am apoplectic.
No. I’m not. Just kidding.
I am fat though.
@@JohnSmith-gs4lw dude you haad me rolling...😆😆😆😆
I only use it for the Lockwood C4 keyway, not wiggly. Lol
Nice. Ya these "wiggly" keys took me bit to figure out but as you can see it works a treat
Por favor preciso
I wish someone would invent a jig for holding the keys. Vice grips slip sometimes.
A vice that rotates 90 degrees?
@@DonzLockz I was thinking of something that would aline the tabs and blade.like when it's locked into a key cutting machine
@@edkeel5007 okay. Umm, contact lock noob to get Sparrows to make one?🤔
Kayak parize ha
You're the best ❤
What's the vise you have in this video and is it still available by chance? Would you recommend it for guys who want to practice but also don't have a van with workbench so they have something portable to work with? See them alot and haven't been able to find on any locksmith suppliers.
Sorry for late reply, I try to keep up best I can. That is a Panavise 350 You can buy them directly from Panavise online. They are fantastic. They have many models but this one is the 350. Comes complete with vice and base just like you see in the video
Plz tell me cutting mansion name ....sir
I don't understand. What is a cutting mansion ? The tool is a Lishi key cutter
I often wondered if they actually worked apparently they do great video 👍🏻
solid video dude
Thank you very much. Please check out more of my vids. This tool is fantastic once you practice a bit. I use it frequently. I will be doing a video on the tubular key cutter soon
Excellent demonstration sir. Take care. Go U.S.
That works perfectly fine Big Al👍Thanks for the demo🔓
Thank you. It really is a great tool if you take the time to get it wired.
Nicely done Big Al! I can tell you've put your time in with that Lishi cutter. Excellent tutorial buddy 👍
Thanks Brad, yes I have. I keep telling people just to practice more before blaming the tool.
Don’t look now, but you’re dangerously close to 2000 subscribers.
I sure do appreciate all the support. It has been a long road and I enjoy every bit of it.
Those little bites we call that "Nibbling" taking little nibbles out of something. Great info btw ;-)
Ah yes, nibbles it is. I just love this tool. I feel it's underrated. People get in a hurry, destroy a key and blame the tool
@@AlbertLebel : Only bad workmen blame their tools for when things go wrong rather than listening to and observing how to use them correctly ;-)
Been waiting for this....thanks👍👌👏👍👌👏✌😉 GREAT tutorial!!
I want one!!!!! Where do i buy it???
Got mine on Ali Express. $35 AU inc postage. If you knew how crappy the Aussie dollar exchanges, you'd know that's pretty good. Could prob buy on any site. Took ages to get here tho.🙄 China.😂 Vendor shipped within days, then it just bounced around. Hit our border got to me in 4days.
@@LMde20 mate I'm a south african!!! Now imagine what a 40 USD product sets you back here!!! ZAR 600 plus delivery cost of another ZAR400 and we run into a 65USD bill. One lishi pick key for toyota = ZAR2000 or 170 AU dollars.
F-ing ridiculous. Still the lock pick sport is kick ass and i will now buy myself that plier!!
@@drevil2783 That's the way. They work well. Good and sharp.
