My story with tubular locks is almost exactly the same as yours. Old modifications of this cylinder are very easy to solve. Not so long ago I got a tubular lock, but the opening process turned out to be not at all easy. From my experience, I realized that the driver pins are exactly the same shape as the key pins and this is one of the reasons for the complication of the opening process. And I also made a tool for applying pressure myself and for opening it too. And Im also cut off the forelock on the key too )). I just watched my story with this cylinder in your video!!!))) Bravo 👍🔓💯 You explained everything very competently on all points of this process. Very good video! Very! Your instrument reminds me of "Katana Peak"!!!))) Cool 👍🔓😁🏆 (Sorry for my English language) Good luck 👍🔓
Hi, Thank you, I have now got the Covert Instruments Impressioning tool and I can confirm that it doesn't fit the Ace II, that said, even if you could get one that physically fitted I believe the Ace II has both steel and brass springs so there is a good chance it wouldn't work anyway
@@paulg413 OK brother, thanks for the info and response. That's what I have been hearing. I guess I am going to have to try and figure out how to get a replacement key # without my original key.
Some really nice tips there Paul 👌, I found the goat wrench a bit awkward to use & I don’t understand why they didn’t design it with a cutout to get round the raised middle that some locks have, I use a small Z bar tension wrench from the 13 piece Chinese tensioner set to tension most tubular locks.
@@paulg413 I have a video of it on a cheap tubular lock, ruclips.net/video/rQQrTqd4l1E/видео.html I will shortly be making another couple of videos on some 10 pin versions.
@BrettSucks that works a treat, great vid!, I've got a couple of ACE licks that need huge tension which nake something like the goat unworkable, I am so trying this later, cheers

Excellent video boss! Do you know of a tubular impressioning tool that works on an ace 2?

Thanks for that, I never considered using a Z wrench but I can see how it would work well, I'll give it a go and let you know
