New Lishi Tool Reveal 

I really hope someone is archiving the best locksport videos in case RU-vid ever decides to pull them all

@@Chiraeldo you have a list of channels?

And especially after giving a pretty honest review of a product he's selling. Plenty of sellers would have re-shot to make sure they had better luck picking it.

Yeah, I like to leave takes like that in to make it as clear as possible that everything I do on my channel is really just as straightforward and honest as I can make it. 👍😉👍

@@DeviantOllam I always feel like an idiot using a Lishi, like if it works it’s due more to luck than any repeatable skill, so I appreciate seeing a “pro” go through some of the same challenges. Thank you for leaving that kind of thing in there 🙏

You're most welcome 😁

Well done!

I believe my understanding from what I last spoke with him is that he is still doing well and he appreciates all the good will and I agree we all miss his content

@@DeviantOllam That's good to hear. Family comes before making the videos and he sure has that priority straight.

Thanks a bunch for enjoying!

¡Buena suerte por usted, también, en este año nuevo!

Thanks 👍

What about the thickness? I wonder if Lishi will do a top level like the SC20 Lishi. I was surprised my KW5 did not fit the Weiser keyway due to thickness. I know there are other problems using KW in Weiser with Weiser having more depths, but it was worth a try.

That is definitely something I have planned to try when I can get one of these to my machinist. I've got him tasked with so many other things right now, but it's in the works. :-)

Well, then I guess that means people are able to find it without my dumbass yapping about it 😁

@@DeviantOllam All of my heroes are people who give information out for others for free simply for the joy of sharing knowledge and who don't like to advertise or push products and instead let quality speak for itself. For the world of HFC there's Brady Volpe who gives hours long lectures on RF. In electronic repair you have Louis Rossman who created a wiki on repairing electronics and tons of videos demonstrating how anyone can do it as well as fighting for our right to repair. When it comes to locks you have Bill, LPL, and you amongst others. I have a lot of respect for people like this even if it means it takes me longer to find out about their products it also means I can trust their integrity when they recommend something. They don't sell you products they teach you about the thing you use the product for and once you understand you naturally want to find out what they are using and/or use their services/products because you understand the quality and attention to detail now that you've learned more about the subject. So yeah, thanks for not plugging it if nothing else it at least keeps more inventory for the rest of us 😂

My eyes do continue to improve, day by day, it's just very slow going

@@DeviantOllam Glad to hear that my friend

Yeah, they're super easy because there's never security pins in them. And many tend to be mastered, making bumping even more effective.

Fingers crossed for you!

If it's LFIC it should work I would think

@@ImGumbyDangit Tehy dot work the same, the only difference between a change key and control is an additional skeg increasing the length. Biting is the same for the rest of the key.

@@chasingcapsaicin I understand they key has a 6 depth at the end to hit the Control pin,. The Lishi could be used to decode then cut on a control key.

@@ImGumbyDangit That was my wondering, can the tool reach it, or be modified to.

@@chasingcapsaicin modifying the Lishi to make it a tad longer may impact it's use on non LFIC ( KIK/KIL cylinders.)

I definitely have not, heh

@@DeviantOllam if you would like to tackle one I've got a cylinder I could send you. I haven't been able to do anything with it but I'd like to have a new set of eyes on it

Eye surgery. I'll have a video about it later, but it's definitely been an impact on me

@@DeviantOllam well that sounds like a bunch of no fun. Best wishes for recovery and your eyeball health.

More why did they cut out the material leaving it a hump

@@chasingcapsaicin the material that's cut out is what lifts the check pin/finger to the right height. The only reason I can think of the hump being left there is to "excercise" the pin, so it doesn't get stuck in the "unlocked" position over time (thus defeating the whole purpose of the check pin)

@@bstrickler I am speaking for the pick having the material unnecessarily removed, also are you familiar with the IC versions of this system. I am curious how difficult it is to decode (after) rotation as it would be possible to keep a running card prior to. Would make it easier to make a control key for said system as unlike almost every other IC system there is no difference in the cut depth for the locking pins for a control key.

Yeah, if you're referring to what I have named the little "shark fin" at the tip that is, indeed, a curiosity. And THAT is what prevented me from being able to extract the tool. The lifting of the check pin had nothing to do with being stuck in the lock.

@@DeviantOllam can it activate a control or just hooked on where it would be. Been a while since dealing with them in the wild. The IC for KIK was a pita removing out master on a lot of them saving some of the change but not all.

He is still doing well, thankfully, but yes he is missed on the internet. :-)

There are no lishi brothers, there is no "mr. Li" either

@@chrism4008 It was just three midgets in a trenchcoat.

@@slappy8941 realistically, its probably 10,000 slaves who live at the factory in China where these are made

I'm gonna bet that it's that little spike out at the tip of the tool. I can see how that would hang up on pins, but I don't know the Everest locks so dunno if it does something useful in there.

But there is an SC20 Lishi. We sell it. It's the main one I carry on jobs.

@@DeviantOllam oh cool! Must get.
