Lishi 2 in 1 Tools V1 V2 V3 Difference

Necessary to get the Lishi locksmith tools latest version?
Yes.

This is ideas from a professional locksmith:
always best to go for latest version as will have the latest improvements on it . though saying that i still have and use alot of the old v1 2in1 tools that were just for doors , older more worn locks tend to read better on the older dedicated door tool , the shoulder reductions and blade extensions on the ignition tools can cause miss reads on the door if not careful to ensure pick is dead square during decode , dedicated door tool i find better on door for quick accurate decode .

the first v1 tool was great on the earlier versions of this lock , but wouldnt get full insertion in slightly later models so v2 was released to sort this , v3 was then released to deal with sunken locks that v2 couldnt get . v3 will get all , and v1 will be more accurate in older lock versions , each has their place and uses , but if only going for 1 tool then the v3 is best coverage .

ive been to quite a few jobs where someone has failed to decode lock due to using an ignition enabled tool and not having the tool dead square when decoding, all blame the tool of course

its well worth having some of the old dedicated 2in1 tools v1 , especially on those that the extended tools can miss read , especially on older edge keys .
