(370) Simple Tool For Making Impressioning Foils - Homemade.

[@roysammons2445]

These tools will be included in some of my edc givaways.

[@TheLockDudeAbides]

Very nice! There's a lot of information to dig through in that video, Great job man.

[@roysammons2445]

Cheers thanks for the encouragement. This little tool allows you to make your own foils. It's simple, easy to make and works well.

[@plug4uk696]

I've not tried impressioning a lock because of the costs involved for the kits, I like how you think out of the box, nice one Roy 👍;-)

[@roysammons2445]

If you've got a dimple lock with spare keys just grind off the bitting and use that as your impressioning blade. Costco baking foil folded 4 times is about equal to impressioning foil. That's the cheap way to do it. About £10 would buy a basic kit. I live outside the box 😂

[@Nicks-Picks]

Im all for having a go at making things myself. Love this video Roy, every time time you inspire me with this impressioning business👌have a great weekend buddy 🙏🤜🤛

[@roysammons2445]

Cheers Nick. A simple idea for making foils that does work. At some point you're gonna have to give it a try and I dare you not to get addicted to it 😂

I need this kit with bout 20 dimple locks😝. Oneday thing. Oneday thing! I sure do love these videos! Very cool of ya to come up with another version👏👏👏🤘😎‼️

[@roysammons2445]

My inspiration for this tool was to be able to make kits up for my edc giveaways. They are very easy to make and not expensive at all. Cheap and cheerful as some say. This wasn't going to be the video for this week but it's a pre cursor for something in the pipeline 😉

[@LockChuck]

Very cool. You know I love making stuff myself. Great work. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Just waiting to see LockChuck's lab bench showing off impressioning locks with home made tools 😉👍

Great idea Roy a simple design made well. Thanks for showing this, cheers

[@roysammons2445]

Thanks Pocket Women. It's an idea I got because I wanted to put foil impressioning into my edc giveaway kits. 🙂👍

[@BeercanBushcraft]

That's made a big impression on me 👍 A simple ,but impressive tool. Nice one Roy mate 👍 Cheers and all the best to you and yours, have a great weekend 👍🙏🏻💖

[@roysammons2445]

Nice nd easy that's how we like it. Although sometimes there's victory in adversity but that's another conversation. Two pieces of 2mm plastic with chamfered edges, stick it together and bingo, a tool to make foils. I did make a few metal versions but it was time consuming and time is something I don't seem to have in abundance 😂 Cheers Tinnie, all the very best to you my dear friend and also to all that are yours 😉

[@BeercanBushcraft]

@@roysammons2445 easy peasy a good way of doing it 👍 ❤️

[@roysammons2445]

​@@BeercanBushcraftBest is when it's easy peasy and good 😂. My little tool is easy peasy and adequate. The metal version is good but takes tike to make. Plus a slip up with the tool and all your efforts could be ruined. We like Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy 😂👍

Lovely stuff Royston!

[@roysammons2445]

It's cheap, cheerful and works really well plus it's an easy make so win, win all round.

Incredible Roy You stuck with it for the open An intriguing technique you've shared with us mate Hope all is well on your end,have to run Copper appears to be "assisting" the amazon delivery guy at the front door!!

[@roysammons2445]

Good old Copper, ALWAYS HELPFUL! Trying to make self sufficient kits that anyone can make and that they work well. Enjoying Copper's walks with you guys.... that is a great idea too 😉 PS I know somebody else who sticks with it for the open 😉

[@Mur-lock68]

Cheers Roy!

[@LockFumbler]

So now foil impressioning manufacturers will definitely hate you 😂😂 Very cool hack, and thanks for sharing!! Foil impressioning has some god fascination to it!

[@roysammons2445]

Simple little tool. I thought that if I am making impressioning tools from keys then I also need a tool to make foils to complete the kit. 😉👍

[@mcdpoor]

That is so interesting

[@roysammons2445]

Quite easy to make. So now with a standard key and this tool you've got a way to have a cheap foil impressioning kit. 😉👍

[@christian72141]

Need you to try this on a DOM IX

[@roysammons2445]

I've seen people foil impression high security locks, I have tried on a few and been unsuccessful so far. Although I didn't give it a real proper go.

[@christian72141]

@@roysammons2445 I'm currently trying to, but the problem I immediately saw were the passive Pins on the top, can't possibly cut the key thin enough to make it not trigger one of them

[@christian72141]

Other than that even with bumping it feels like the cylinder wants to turn, but guess the passive Pins prevent it

[@christian72141]

@@roysammons2445 quick update, the IX 10 is actually dumpable, it works extremely well as soon as I figured it out. Not so much luck with the foil tho, it rips too easily. Do you have a recommendation on foils u used?

[@roysammons2445]

​@@christian72141Sometimes you can cut a blank down to a thin strip. You massy be able to foil open slightly and then insert the thin key cut from a blank which my gold back the passive pins from fitting. Just a thought.

[@christian72141]

I absolutely need this for my DOM IX 10 DM53 keyway, can't find it anywhere, guess it's too specific

[@roysammons2445]

Not sure the keyway on that Dom, I wonder if any of the three basic blades would fit the keyway. Alternatively if you have spare keys you could sacrifice a key to make into a blank blade. 🙂👍

[@christian72141]

@@roysammons2445 I did it, ordered a blank from Silca they actually got the DM53 and DM49 as their standard IX 10 blanks. As mentioned in the other comment passive Pins are currently my obstacle to overcome

[@paulg413]

Great stuff Roy, I'm going to have a shot at this over the next couple of days assuming I can get some foil, what thickness am I looking for?

[@roysammons2445]

According to the Chinese sites it's 0.05mm I think. I'll double check and get back to confirm. I know that Costco baking foil folded 4 times is just about right too. EDIT: * The silver foil is 0.05mm * The gold foil is 0.06mm According to Wish.

[@paulg413]

@@roysammons2445 Ah, well I have Costco baking foil so all good 👌👌👌👌

[@roysammons2445]

​​@@paulg413 Having to fold it into 4 layers is a bit of a faff but it does work.

[@sotonlock7894]

Thank you for this video, I've been wondering how to make the foils since I got my kit. Have you tried using kitchen foil, I suspect it's to thin?

[@roysammons2445]

The only foil I have found to work is foil from Costco as it's thick. I fold it four times and it seems to work well then. Buying the actual foil from one of the Chinese sites isn't that bad as the foil will make quite a lot strips. At some point I'm going to do a video on it.

[@ShadowzGSD]

nice.

[@roysammons2445]

Thanks fiord sir for dropping in to watch and comment. Such an easy to to make and very effective to make foils. 😉👍

[@RookKnight]

I love this. I have been wanting to try this ever since the first time seeing you do this a few months back. Question when you made the slot in the key. Did you need to make it a certain size? Or just need to cut out the key bitting. Also what do you use to make that cut or grove on those pieces of plastic? Hopefully thees question makes sense lol. Great video Roy really cool.

[@roysammons2445]

I just take off the existing key bitting on the key. The foil then sits in the groove. As for this tool I took two thin pieces of plastic, chamfered along the edge of both pieces with a file. Then I glued them together. Sometimes you might also need to drag the tip of a small file down the channel after sticking the two pieces of plastic together to slightly widen the channel. Alternatively one piece of plastic can be used and cut a groove down the edge but I think this way with two pieces is actually much easier to do. I also made a couple out of a metal bar but it's a lot of effort with a dremmel tool to cut that groove. Go on Rook give it a go 😉
