VERY useful. Other methods do risk destroying the chip. I destroyed one on an Acura last week... It is only the second time I have done that. Glad it was for a car that was at my shop, and not a Mazda Miata or 626, or a car out of town. For those posting negative comments... your points miss the useful situations, where transplanting a chip is a timesaver. FCA TYPE 1 and PACIFICA... destroy the chip, or fail to clone.... and you gotta pull the skim to read it EEPROM or run the vin via NASTF for your pin code. I have used PVC cutters, Linemen's' cable cutters, Heat Guns and other tools. In retrospect, this is a pretty nice tool. IF harvesting a LOT of chips, any timesavers pay their cost back quickly ( ROI )
@@kdc754 i have not watched the whole video but only part off it . IS it anywhere there u demonstrate on a glass chip ? for example T5 from HONDA / ACURA ? OR EVEN HARDER BY FAR - VW MEGAMOS 48 ?
@@TheSnoopdog14 There is an acura at the end of the clip. The initial picture scans across several glass chips however the quality on the video is not very good. I may have to redo it.
I would love to purchase one of these but none of my key suppliers have them in stock.

HEY KEITH , I DON'T see how that will work with glass chips . AM I WRONG ?
Surprisingly it works quite well on glass chips because its pushing out the inner core that contains the chip, instead of pushing on the chip itself.

Sometimes the only option is to extract an already-programmed chip from a worn or damaged key then put it in a new shell.
Thanks for the 240p video. That looks like a pain in the dick. I'll stick with the VVDI super chips for now...
Is the bolt cutter included? Hahaha. Neat tool. I don't frankenstein many keys. But I'll keep this tool in mind.
All these new chip costs about $2 or less. Its not worth it.
