It is fun to see what you come up with every week. I wondered what those Lishi cutters were like. Very cool to see in action. Impressioning is a whole skill set on its own. Learning and watching an expert at that skill, quickly helps you understand how to do it and make it work. I was taught by a boss who didn’t explain it very well and it was hard to do. I later met someone who excelled at it and my ability jumped remarkably. Good luck Fish! ✌🏻👏🏻

I don't have any Lishi picks, but have everything else including hundreds of key blanks and can't wait to have a go- once work allows. Yes, I was again watching this whilst balancing on a ladder, painting a room!😁 Great video, thanks again- take care mate.👍

Very good video Fish! I’ve cut a key by hand with just a couple of files. It amazed me how much of a difference a couple strokes of a file can make. I was keying up an Abus lock I had bought to practice on. I used some pins I got from the locksmith I purchased the lock from as well as few blank keys. It was a fun project. But i did discover after a couple excessive key cuts that it’s best to go slow and check often.

Judging from the color of the handle's coating I'm guessing it's a pair of GENUINE lishi clipper rather than the ORIGINAL, which somehow works slightly offset than it's supposed to do. From my (limitted) experience, Lishi clippers work better on "smaller" keys such as cam locks, and for normal residential locks, a more precise key machine, be it a hand-held model (pak-a-punch style) or a power-driven one, is always preferred. That said, this is real quality content as always. Thanks for the vid.

@DoctorHogmaster3 жыл бұрын
It’s funny, I JUST ordered one of these clippers a few days ago. Although I have a key cutting machine, it’s an automated motion copying machine, and using depth and space keys on it can be a challenge. I think you sorted out that disassembling the lock can make key making/finishing very easy, if that’s the only goal and you don’t have some of the extra information or tools handy. I’ve done that for a few locks, for which I never had the key in the first place and with uncommon enough blanks that depth and space keys would not be worth buying. I look forward to seeing how you like impressioning. I’ve enjoyed it, but it takes me more like 20-45 minutes (I’m slow at it). And that’s when I don’t break a key or go too deep on a cut and have to start over. A lesson I learned the hard way, is that some cheap locks will jam up when you try to impression them. I had that experience with several “GMS” cylinders, and they jammed hard enough that the original key would no longer work. I’ve had other cheap cylinders (Kenaurd, for example) that worked fine, though. Just keep that in mind, to avoid some potential frustration! Keep up the great work, and thanks for another fun video!

You don't need the Lishi Decoder to do this job. By using a black marker you should be able to use the depth & space keys to impression the lock. Then use keys and the dial caliper to fit the key.

The digital caliper is overkill. Just use a flat key decoder gauge to determine whether the depths of the individual cuts are on point with the readings from the Lishi decoder.

Impressions locks is a skill that requires a lot of practice. It is much more complicated than looking for marks and filling them. You have to be able to determine what the marks mean and what marks to file. I’ve seen a few you tube vids where they do it very quickly but I can say from years of impressioning locks, BS! They already know how to file it before they make the video and no one explains what the difference is between the marks and when to file them. I have no respect for those people at all! The lishi requires very little skill and is an excellent way to decode a lock. Much faster
