Magic Key? Topolino Self-Impressioning Tool

[@บัวสีโรเจอร์-ศ9ฝ]

I used to be a maintenance engineer and worrying about the cost of tools was something I gave up with a long time ago. The simple rule was, if I couldn't make a suitable tool in far less time than it took me to earn the cost of a store bought item, then just buy it and get the job done. Keep your customers happy and they won't bilk over the bill.

[@twatmunro]

Most people who do lock stuff aren't locksmiths, they're hobbyists. I drive for fun. I'd love a Porsche. I can't afford one. Nobody's going to pay me to drive one. Hence the Honda Civic. These cost 450 euros. That's per keyway. There are about 30 different models to cover all the different keyways. A full set would cost you 135,000 euros. But just buy one, right?

[@บัวสีโรเจอร์-ศ9ฝ]

@@twatmunro Oops, as usual I didn't pay attention and sort of oversimplified things a bit. Lucky for everyone else I'm retired now.

[@devlerk]

​@@twatmunro 30 * € 450 = € 13.500 on my calculator. That is still a hefty pricetag but as a professional locksmith this might an investment that pays itself back.

[@kimnilsson7501]

@@devlerk At a cost for the opening about €200, one need to open over 67 times to get break even only in tool cost. But I guess no one will pay that price (to open a €50 lock). Next problem is that the customer usually onle see your active time working. 15 min travel, 5 min job and 15 min back again - they would just call you a crock getting paied for a "5 min job"..

[@gt3266]

​@@kimnilsson7501not if the items behind the lock have a higher value than the cost of opening the lock which most likely would be the case if you don't want to just get hammer and a screwdriver to break it open

[@derekmarshall6427]

I haven't got that far yet. Just began almost 1 week ago with 2 safety pins & a cheap basic tumbler lock I found laying around at work. Got my beginners kit this past Thursday & a table vice exactly like yours yesterday! But this is so fun & challenging. Now I have to get some more locks to practice on!👍🏾

[@BD90..]

Of all the impressioning tools I have seen for pin Tumbler locks, this one is the nicest

[@LockNoob]

It is kinda cool

[@barrackb0325]

$400 for a tool that opens safety deposit boxes? Priceless.

Different keyway. However if they provide a set of different keyway..

[@NLCircle]

Just a small nugget: 'Topolino is the Italian name for 'Mickey Mouse'. Which makes sense when looking at the black handle of this tool! Great vid again, my compliments

@6:00 the mechanism is just systematically trying every possible pin position, that's all. Much faster if you just do it yourself with a set of rakes and torque wrenches.

[@terrysmith1790]

Be good if the impressioning blade was interchangable for the tool handle. So you could use it on different locks.

[@Burn0u7]

These are made in Bulgaria ( their factory is near Iliantzi ). There is very picky story about how the tool was made and the guys behind it.

I would say it is just an opening tool for locksmiths, and an alternative to getting the ARES.

[@LockNoob]

Good option

[@TheKeymaster1053]

Great device. I wonder if they make them for the pin in a pin locks such as Mul-T-Lock?

[@ukbumpkeys]

Cool review, Noobster, always good to see a bit of innovation. Reminds me of the foil impressioning fad of around 2013. HOWEVER, I think these are over-engineered and largely a high-risk and exceptionally expensive purchase. Everyone knows about the new Lishi-Style dimple picks that can open a good range of UK dimple locks (including the ISEO R6) in about two minutes, for about a FIFTH of the price and without all those fiddly bits no one wants to be dealing with when kneeling at a door lock at midnight, with the good old British weather complicating matters even further. If I remember rightly these manufacturers don't offer any warranty, which for a 400 quid tool is not ideal, and why we've never stocked their products. They told us they make a video of each product before being shipped, but if it breaks, I'm not sure how that would work. Maybe that's changed. Ironic really that it's called 'Topolino', since the Italians call Mickey Mouse, "Topo Lino", and we all know what something Brits describe as being 'Mickey Mouse' means. Enjoyed the video though, as usual.

[@LockNoob]

Interesting stuff!

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Yes indeed when a gentleman thief seeks to relieve you of your goods it's absolutely spiffing that this device enables that to happen.

[@permeus2nd]

6:25 it sounds like it’s ratcheting (which it turns out is a really hard word to say, I’m dyslexic so I use a lot of speak to text) with each turn slowly setting each depth, if I’m right the mechanics of that is quite impressive.

[@PocketWomen]

That is an awesomely designed tool. Thanks for showing this, cheers

[@LockNoob]

Thanks!

[@cmarano]

Wow! Looks like what would happened if a '50's Sci-Fi illustrator got hold of a Lishi. Seriously though, beautiful design and function. A little too specialized for the average locksporter but I could see it as a handy niche tool for professional locksmiths.

[@LockNoob]

Yeah not a hobbyist pick for sure

[@c.g.b.spender1821]

Looks like it can open more keyways than a single lishi. How many keyways does topolino support?

[@tigerwhite827]

Is it lots cheaper to kick the door down and replace the new door and lock?

[@roysammons2445]

Just imagine if you could put this engineering into a tool where you can swap blades. I have made my own foil impressioning kits using old keys, it's not hard to do and a fun project. Would be cool to see you do a video on making a foil impressioning tool. As always a very clear informative look at this super cool tool

[@LockPickingLegend]

Yes! Foil impressioning was excellent (I say 'was' as I haven't done any in years,) I saw a KZbin video with I think Jos Weyers demonstrating it on a KABA lock. I spent a lot of time with my Dremel trying to cut out the keys. Had some success, but also had plenty of locks full of foil.

[@LockNoob]

I do want to do foil impressioning using a cut key, I did try ay one point but it’s a lot harder than it looks and you can easily trap the key in the lock

[@LockPickingLegend]

@@LockNoob And loads of foil.

[@sloopycat1954]

Can you buy a separate pick or key attachment to open every type of lock with this devise/gadget please does anyone know its a lot of money to spend if that is the case, please reply yes or no only if your sure of the answer. Great video thankyou.

Does this work on all different types of locks like padlocks, house locks, car locks or is it just what you described as a dimple lock? I buy old hot rods and restore cars and lots of times. Don't get the keys so it would be awful handy as i do old car restoration

I think the ‘pro’ in the name is a massive hint as to who this is aimed at. It’s a very cool piece of engineering though. Thanks for sharing because there’s no way I’ll ever be shelling out for one of these so it’s nice to see how it works.

Does it work on all locks, opening store locks?

[@uncle_thulhu]

Are you aware of any type of impressioning/decoding tool (tubular, dimple or pin-tumbler) that is at least partially universal? Just so you don't have to buy a whole new tool every time you come across a different keyway? I mean, if you've got one that matches the keyway, Lishi tools are almost like magic wands, but they're not cheap, they don't make them for every keyway (I'd kill for a PZ one), and if, like me, you are bad at identifying keyways (I have 4 Lishi tools. One works on 3 of my locks, one on 4, one on 2, and one on none), it gets expensive very quickly. Some way of interchanging the "blades" (sold separately, of course), and perhaps some kind of overlay for the decoder?

Yeah, buying 30 tools is not a good business, but one would be. And I guess you are right, to advanced locks and no tool. Here people usually the second half which have a spare. In rentals there are master keys. So in a few cases we open doors, like one time a year - so any tools like these are waste of money for us, we go with Magi.
