Thanks just got my broken key out that was deep inside the lock. The tip with the pliers for better leverage definitely helped. Thank you

Just extracted my broken key from the ignition of my Landrover Defender :) Thanks for the tip of bringing the barrel back to the home position.

Very useful. Always short on "proper" tools, but this video helped me remember a solution I found a few years ago, when my tractor key was broken very deep in the cylinder: a coping saw blade. The key in a rental excavator broke near the end of the day, and I used this video to refresh my memory on the procedure. The trick with the broken key today was: 1. It was deep in the cylinder (past 2 tumblers) 2. It was blocked by a rubber weather cover and 3. It was oriented straight up/down, meaning gravity worked against me. I broke my coping saw blade into a piece about 3", and then ground on my bench grinder the back (non sawtooth) side to 1/2 the original width. Next, I smoothed the piece with a whetstone, so only the teeth would catch on the key, not the lock. I carefully pulled the rubber cover out (lubricated, It was easy to re-insert after, and was less likely to get damaged-- it IS a rental, after all. I opened a large paper clip, then bent it into a "U" shaped spring This I used to hold the first 2 tumblers out of the way, inserting one end into the lock and the other end into a phillips-head screw on the console. This allowed me to concentrate on the broken key. After a few tries with the saw blade I managed to get the broken piece higher than the tumblers (gripping with the teeth, and twisting slightly to increase the friction-- a point I learned from this video); I then caught the piece with a pair of tweezers and removed it. Cost of my tools (not including tweezers): about $.50!

I've just watched a few of these films but your the 1st person to say what your doing and say the names of the tools needed and what they do I'm not a locksmith but I feel like I could use them tools to take a broken key out from more than a barrel lock now I used a thin bit of metal and pushed the key out using the opposite key hole

Thanks for the tips. I used a drill bit thanks to your spiral extractor idea and some angled picks, got the sheared key out of my ignition, tested it with spare key, still works.

After aligning the broken key in the vertical position, I just used a pick and small pliers from my RC(remote control) tool kit, pried the broken key out maybe 2mm, grabbed it nice and tight with the pliers, and pulled it out.

With the interchangeable locks, I just drill a hole about an 1/8 of an inch in the back and poke out the broken key. Works every time…but some also come with an opening already..

Great tips. I have the Peterson extractor kit, it's good but I don't have those pointy tweezers. 🍺😎

A thief using a foreign key to the ignition lock in this particular case a T100 truck breaking off the key that doesn't match that particular ignition lock?

would have been much better if you would have actually just extracted 1 or two keys for the demo...and would have been a much shorter video as well..i guess this video is for folks who just want to learn basic stuff about these tools. thanks anyway
