or can you teach ME how to use these clippers?
there is very little info that i can find on this tool,but i have seen an old chinese lockpicking master
clip out a working key in moments on youtube,and i want to be able to use this tool
at least effectively....i forsee many,many wasted blanks in my future..
i would appreciate input from a pro,or someone who has used this type of tool with success .
(on a side-note,i wish i had a pack-a-punch..) =/
thanks...
even just a walk-thru on the basics would be great.

In the vid he shows how he use's a decoder for the auto lock,cutting a key using a guide on the cutter, i think it takes practice practice practice maybe a few more wasted blanks.
sorry i cannot help any more ...

seen many vids but not used it enough myself to help any more 8-)

wow...what a nice setup!( the inner groove decoder)
it gives me the idea to scribe height and depth increments on the key blade...

oh, making bumpkeys is an absolute snap,with a little practice..
i clipped a weiser BK for my front door out of an old key,
one hit!...open.
similar with americans..

wow sh!t-hot m8, very well done (woohoo)

There seems to be two cutters/snips out there, the one you got and the one with orange handles, in my experiance you have the better clipper ( stay away from the orange handele one's ,) they dont seem be be as strong as ive had to send a few back ! :roll:
