Key Cutter Stainless Steel Cutting Pliers for Vehicles Car Keys

This key cutter is easy to use is a good value for the money and makes good Sharp cuts super satisfied.

This is perfect if you want to make a couple copies of a key. Cuts the blank clean. Just need to be careful that the original and the blank are lined up perfectly

The key cutter itself is good quality and works exactly as it should. It cuts cleanly and feels solid in hand. No issues using it for its intended purpose and cuts a wide variety of keys. The only downside is the case — it feels a bit cheap and could definitely be sturdier. That said, the tool is what matters most, and it performs as it should. Overall, a good value if you need a functional key cutting tool and don’t care much about the storage case.

I am not a locksmith and have never copied keys before owning this tool; I am able to make duplications by: 1. Clamping the key blank over the original together in a vise or with vise grips 2. Notching the key with the tool against the original key 3. Marking with a sharpie and filing if necessary (as the trapezoidal shape of the cutter is narrower than some keys) After some practice I am able to copy most keys on the first try. I haven’t yet come across a standard key where this tool does not work.

There's the right tool for every job...and if that job entails making numerous duplicates...this is not that tool. BUT! If that job demands a copy or two, or even three, and you're not a mobile locksmith decked out with everything a mobile locksmith could need...this is the tool for you. I was, admittedly, a bit sceptical after I unboxed the tool, but decided to not pass judgement until I gave it a fair shot. In short, my trial run worked in all four locksets on the very first attempt. Color me impressed. I'm certain there are many tricks to using this cutter, but the one I know will benefit you is this...some YT instructionals involve tracing the profile of your working key onto your blank to guide your cuts...skip this. Grab a pair of locking pliers, ie - ViseGrips, and clamp your working key atop your blank, lining up the bottoms and the shoulders of the two keys. The rest is straight forward and very simple. Snip, snip, snip and jackpot. If needing a key copy comes up on occasion in your regular tasks...I can confidently recommend this cutter.

I couldn’t get this work good with my blanks. Maybe for some it will Work.

Didn't work well for my use but is a high quality tool. Could see how it could work very well for the right job.

Works well, but takes some practice and patience to get it right. Odds are your first few keys will either straight up not work because you're ever so slightly off in your depth of cut or alignment, but after a few attempts it only takes minor tweaking and deburring to get a good key.

Really happy with tool, thought From photos looked like a brace or bracket piece shown. Was not in box and gather it was not a guide or such. Better if was a common colour if representing a key. Thanks
