Hi, great video will are you able to make a video on how to use a Lishi for beginners the basic techniques, like to feel for and how to decode the locks to cut the keys.
@@macbookgenius007 I do intend to,just hard that I film with my phone. Hopefully soon in the future I could do it those kinds of videos once I get a go pro or something.
I worked as a automotive mechanic professionally for thirty years and I ended up with some spine damage. Well I figured to give this automotive locksmith business a shot since I already had a lot of the equipment. Your videos are a great help .
What to stock is really going to depend on your area. When I started 4 years ago, I got the top 10 transponder pack from CLK and I still haven't used any of the Toyota or Honda keys. I ended up taking 2 different approaches for stock. 1-when someone contacted me about a key I didn't have, I ordered what they needed plus a couple to keep. 2-I drove around store parking lots and ordered keys for the vehicles I saw the most. In my case, h72-pt, h92-pt, y160-pt, and b111-pt.
As a locksmith for 30 years the master kit is overkill..you may NEVER use some of those models..Pick the models you see in your area 10 models or so is good coverage in most cases. Your recommendation kit is pretty good!
I started off with a banggood key duplicator that works...just requires constant calibration. I also got a banggood high security machine that I have never successfully cut a key with.
Nice info just check what dealers are in your area and look around parking lots and see what people are driving and look up most sold car make in your area get them to start and for lockouts have a lockout kit rod and bags because even if you’re doing keys Lishi’s might not get you in you have to get in you can get key cuts other ways. Lishi’s are still not a easy tool to use you have to practice a lot
Hello guys, I dont know what to do =) What keys? What Chips? What about the Books AutoSmart 2021, someone found that in PDF? I need that as well... Thanks for the content @TheBeginnerLocksmith you!!!
Be leary of pdf's of the books...they may be real, scanned copies, but they aren't legal to share due to copy right laws. I scanned my set to pdf as a backup and I've had to print out and replace some pages in my books. Michael Hyde isn't putting out books anymore since he is focusing on the MyAutoSmart app. While the app doesn't seem to always have the same amount of info as the books, it's constantly getting updated.
Bro… thanks for the info… But I am also starting, and I would like to know WHAT STOCK I should invest in? It’s hard to pick out from the MILLIONS of keys available….where are u located ? (I’m in LA Ca)
I have the same question, I don't know what I should have in my stock as well... What keys? What Chips? What about the Books AutoSmart 2021, someone found that in PDF? I need that as well... Thanks for the content @TheBeginnerLocksmith you!!!
man thanks for your videos and guidance,,im learning the lishi,,,i feel like i pick every pick,,but it still wont open,,what am i doing wrong??/,,,thx,,,
Well it’s one of those things that’s hard to explain through text but I’ll try. What lishi or lishis you practicing with? What car or door locks you practicing on?
Tip 1. On both cars try practicing on different locks. I remember on a ford I could only get the tailgate lock too work for some reason. Tip 2. Try picking different directions. Even if it’s too lock the car you will be able to decode it. Also sometimes people just have easier time picking a certain direction before they can pick all directions. Tip 3. Don’t use too much strength while picking in fact use the minimum amount you can.

Good video. I'd probably add the hu101 in there as well. But just depends on your area, I have quite a few ford's that use it.

@@leonmatvich5059 yes that was what I thought about putting initially but I just went with these for my top picks but it’s different for everyone.

I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for recommending what you feel we need instead of the high ticket items..
No problem😁
I’m glad I could help
Great info. I still struggle with lishi's even with practice. Some days I can get a lock on the first try and other days, it's a crap shoot.
Please make some video saying what keys and and what chips we should start!... Thanks for the content @TheBeginnerLocksmith !!!
Thanks for the support and thanks for watching my content!!! I’ve been really busy with life but I’ll try to get on it👍

Thank you 🙏 for watching!!!
Quick question where would you buy programmers and key cutting machines from ? Can you trust the Chinese wholesale websites? Thanks
Hey man I’ve had issues with nearly every supplier, just read the reviews and do your research. I can only recommend ones that I truly trust.
@@Beginner-locksmith will drop you an email if that's ok
@user-wk4xk7eh6b that’s cool with me bro!!!

Also there are multiple nsn14
Do you have the 8 cut or 10 cut?
Generally the 8 cut works better.
