Awesome, I've been a locksmith for 20+ years and I always like to see people like yourself share and learn the trade...I think you explain everything clear and understandable which is refreshing...keep up the great work, you have the skill for sure. And your 100% right on these groups that your turn to for help and tips and info and they do Alot of degrading you instead of helping...
Great video! I apprenticed as a locksmith 9 years go-ahead I finished, moved with my fiancee to Peterborough, NH(not a big automotive locksmithing hub) I got a job as a Spanish teacher. After 8 years of teaching, I'm burnt out from teaching and I'm getting back into lock work. I prefer seeing the picking, cutting, showing you checking by computer for Honda, Nissan and Toyota There are many older Japanese vehicles still on the road. My dad drives a 1996 Lexus with 71,000 miles!!!Im not a fan of videos where someone talks into the camera the whole time. I appreciate you asking for the good and bad in reviews Constructive criticism is priceless.
Great video man, I'm a Hybrid technician in the Caribbean and I want to add this to grow my business. Folks my way don't like to share knowledge and I thank you for this. I am hoping to find other videos by you, showing the tools and where to get the supplies. God bless you brother.
Your content is great. Your calm demeanor and knowledge resonates with me. I can tell you are "thirsty " for knowledge and are a true representation of a professional. I use scopes every day as an industrial power generation tech. I'm always preaching the benefits of a lab scope for diagnostics to my co workers. The other day I shared your video with the use of a scope with an ignition sync to see pressure pulses in the rad . Needless to say you impressed a bunch of what I consider very talented techs. Not an easy feat
Appreciate you sharing Chad!! I think it’s an awesome skill to have! Glad that you are learning and bringing us along! I’m definitely interested in learning the key side of the industry. The more you know the better off you are! & it’s a huge advantage for you to know instead of being at the mercy of the few that do it!
Like #10 Thanks for the video! Life is a learning curve! Hindsight is 20-15! Absolutely more videos like this! Enjoyed the process! Great job videoing and explaining! A mini CNC milling machine!
Thanks!! It’s exactly like a mini CNC only easier😁. I get bored if I’m not learning something new even though my capacity to learn seems to be diminishing (I blame stress and workload). I got my but handed to me last night on another locksmith job as well but I learned from that vehicle as well which will make me better next time.
lm soon to retire from the bulding industry..this is looking like a brilliant part time income for me..great video showed everything i need to get interested and started 😊
I appreciate this video. Got an old school key cutting machine but like you hoping to upgrade so don't have to outsource this kind of stuff. There's only one locksmith in our area and it's a crabby old guy so would rather not have to deal with the headache
great work ....I learned a lot from your chanel . yes I like this kind of video and I hope you will make a video about where I can find online training that is not expensive I mean lucksmith training ..... thanks a lot for all your video and your chanel . I wish you good health...and a Happy New Year .
I have not found much for online training. It seems to be a dark art not taught online. There are locksmith training expo events several times a year. I’m hoping to attend these events in the future to grow my locksmith skills.
Great video Chad I def like these I’ve thought about getting into this, you nailed it with locksmith groups they are a tough crowd nervous that people are going to take jobs away.
The bad thing is most locksmiths are not keeping up with current technology in the immobilizer world. I don’t know if I have the time or patience to get into European eprom work.
@@ThePracticalMechanic It's not that they're not keeping up. Most Auto code cutter's can't "Smith" a key and this is what separates the Locksmith from the mechanic. It's tough to keep up, yes I will say that but also if you network thru vetted groups (not the internet locksmith / codecutting groups) you can get help. When you locksmith you need to decide what side of the business you want to be in. I do Auto Locksmith, Repair, Diagnostics, Programming, Light Residential for lockouts, well being checks for the police dept, city, county, state as if you get good enough you'll get calls. Local locksmiths don't want to take calls at night especially on domestic calls as about the time you're halfway there they cancel. I am trying to work thru the cancellation issues with the local police dispatch but it all gets paid by city. People are leaving this industry in droves because of people not knowing the value of a key, cut and programmed to a vehicle. I've seen auction guys who use the company equipment, supplies (this is theft) after hours without permission, do a bunch of work half price then when they're gone and a car dealer calls us in we have to go in and retrain what they've ruined as if someone tells me they can get a chip key for $45 I tell them to go for it and be careful as I won't go cut a chip key on site for less than $95 as there's a $75 trip charge because at the end of the day expenses still have to be paid. It's not a $3000 profession. In regards to Eeprom work make sure you're insured properly as the RUclips content earnings won't cover some modules should you brick it. Remember if you brick it the customer has the choice to get it done at their location of choice so any price advantage you had goes out the door as if they have to tow it to the dealer 100 miles away and have it done then you're on the hook for the bill, the whole bill as regardless of what was wrong prior to you working on the job you will be on the hook for. If it's got a plethora of codes, aftermarket remote start, etc then you may Want to double, triple or even quadruple the price as there will be issues. Haven't taken a profit in 3 yrs and so far this year we're $15k in the Red as when you get jobs where you need pinning kits, etc you have to invest in the business. Luckily the wife works, we've been in the same house for 22 yrs this coming Feb.
great video all the content you have produced i have liked. lets me know what vehicles sometimes to stay away from.. Oh the 22re you helped me with worked out good. he wants A/C fixed next
@@ThePracticalMechanic been a little while since checked if I remember high pressure High low pressure Low figured expansion valve. I think sometimes readings would be correct and cool good next day not cooling and pressures would be off.
good video.!! i would like to learn how become a locksmith please share the links where you have bought the equipment you have use . I would also like to learn how code keys thanks.!!
i have a 2009 ram 2500 HD 4WD Hemi. bought frame and running gear came with a key but was a non skim key planning on building a 1950 dodge body i have all the electrical is there a way to simply turn off skim where the key i have will work. getting closer to starting the project but know i have to find a work around on the skim someone said their might be a way to get some code to make a key but i really don't have a need nor do i want skim
I haven’t done one that new but I’ve turned off skim on several hemi’s for swaps into jeeps. Hptuners can do it. A few other tuners may be able to do it as well. Autel im508 or im608 can program new skim keys if needed.

I found it very interesting and informative thanks and keep them coming
Oh man..There goes the day of picking locks with a tension and slide key . Lol
I really like those Lishi tools. Great video again Chad. 👍
I appreciate the details
Thanks for the video, everything you said was on point.
It has split wafers, that’s why you had that deep false set. they can be tricky. Good job.

Strangely fascinating would love you to take us with you as you learn and gain more experience
great indepth video. keep up the great content
Man u work is really great I appreciate it
Am here just trying to learn things on key cutting n programming as well as the different tools
I appreciate this video. Got an old school key cutting machine but like you hoping to upgrade so don't have to outsource this kind of stuff. There's only one locksmith in our area and it's a crabby old guy so would rather not have to deal with the headache
I’ve dealt with the old crabby locksmith for years and years. Great resource when needed but I prefer to do it myself now.
Very informative. Well done! You earned a subscriber. Thank you.

Right on! What’s going on with the A/C? We don’t see many issues with A/c on those trucks.

would you do it for me if i send the comuter to you not asking for free just no one close around here can do it
@@ThePracticalMechanic having a skim key would be ok but would rather just turn it off if possible
good
Is this real? Who makes it? Looks professional but never heard of it before.
Such a nice thought out video.... especially your thoughts towards the end. Yes....I like these videos. Chad.....how do I join your Facebook group?
Thanks. I’ll check into the group settings.
