[388] $59 Genuine Lishi vs $120 Original Lishi | Is The Cheaper One Worth It?

hey guys how's it going so full lock picker here in the video I have for you today I'm going to be doing unboxing in an initial look at an alternative to the original Ishii tool if you've seen in my prior videos I've shown you the original Ishii in the KW 1 KW 5 SC 1 in SC 4 keyways when I was looking on ebay the other day I saw that there was a cheaper alternative so instead of paying 120 dollars a piece you can pay 59 dollars a piece the type of lishi that I found is called a genuinely sheet which I believe is going to be a knockoff brand but I'm really interested to see if it's going to be able to pick and decode accurately like these ones if you're looking for a cheaper alternative so what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up this package right here and we'll take a look together I am so excited to be able to find a potential cheaper alternative I know 120 dollars a pick is quite expensive and really this is going to be a cool thing to find out and I've been really looking forward to making this video alright so what we have is we're going to have as you can tell it's called genuine lishi and these are tools built for life so what I'm gonna do is what's open up.these and we'll take a look at them one at a time [Music] so let's just do a quick comparison so we can take a look at these compared to its counterpart so what I have in my hand here is going to be the kW 5 this lishi tool opens up just like any other tool one thing I'm not a hundred percent sure what you'll have to find out by playing with it is can I take this tension arm off and put it on the other side looks like there is a set screw there so that's probably possible that's something that I find pretty important but taking a quick look we can see that we have the kW 5 brush the kW 5 the genuinely she on the bottom and the originally she on the top they do all seem to be pretty much the same exact thing so I'm gonna be really interested to see the material feels slightly different but um I'm really interested to see so that's the kW 5 now we got the SC 1 so once again we have the original lishi on the top in the genuinely sheet on the bottom so these do really seem like they're pretty much a carbon copy just slightly different material if you want to know if you have the original leash you're gonna see mr. Lee's face on the tool in several places so that's how you can know that you have the original lishi and now let's take a look at the nothin the next ones so now we're going to have the SC 4 once again those look pretty identical but we're saving so much money getting one for $59 verse 120 and now we got the kW one which let's find its counterpart right here so now that we see that these tools look very similar what I'm going to do is let's throw these let's throw them into some locks and see how they do alright so let's see what it takes to open this lock up with the genuine sc1 lishi so this is going to be the $59 knockoff brand so I'm going to put on some clockwise tension and we got to click on one click on to click on three click on four click on five and the lock opened up as easily as it normally would what I'm really interested is trying to compare the decoding and make sure that it is going to be accurate so taking a look at the very first pen that looks like it's going to be a six cut moving on to the next one that's going to be a seven and chamber three we are going to be looking at a three cut four is going to look like a five cut and five is going to look like a five cut so having decoded this lock before I know that that looks accurate but just to be thorough let's toss in the original lishi the one that I know is going to be a great tool this is the hundred twenty dollar one and let's just decode this right now so we're getting a six getting a seven we're getting a three five and five so these two tools match up perfectly so for a good savings that is a pretty cool thing it will be interesting to see how they stand up to the test of time but let's lock the cylinder back up and what I'm going to do is let's pick this open using the SC 4 variant and see how it does so one thing I want to keep in mind is the fact that this lock in front of us is a sixpence cylinder so it's going to be able to fully insert if this were a five ten cylinder I'd have to have it pulled out one chamber so let's pick this open again one two three four five it picked as easily as it did the first time and now decoding we're going to get a six then we're going to get a seven eight three a 5 and a 5 so that is very accurate as well and now we're going to just finish this up by decoding one last time with the original Ishii as c4 and this is the hundred $20 more expensive one so once again we're getting is six then we're getting a seven then we're getting at three then we're getting a 5 and a 5 and as you can tell there's nothing in the last chamber so as those right now these two tools are working very well and I could say that they're pretty interchangeable if you're looking to save some money right now I am pretty happy but let's load up a quick set lock and see how we do all right so let's try out the genuinely sheet and see how it does picking and decoding this quick set lock so starting off on one got a good click two got a good click three got a good click four and five and the lock is now opened up so now going to decode this I'm going down all the way to four and now in chamber - I'm going all the way down - to chamber three I'm going down to three four is a 6 5 is a 1 and that was a really quick pick in decode but let's compare this code to what we get with the original kW onli sheet which is the more expensive brand name so we're going to see we're going to get a 4 again we're going to get the 2 we're going to get a 3 again 6 in a 1 so we're able to get the same code so I'm going to lock this lock up and now I'm going to pick it open using the genuine kw5 lishi tool so this is a 6 pen tool but this is actually a 6 pin lock only pinned up to 5 if this only had 5 pens we would have to pull it out one chamber so I'm going to do some tension and we're going to get to click on one click on 2 click on 3 nothing on 4 5 opened us up so now when we go to decode it we're going to get a four again we're going to get a 2 then we're going to get a 3 and we're going to get a 6 and then we're going to get the 1 so what I'm going to do right now is finish this up by doing the kw5 originally she told the more expensive one we're gonna see what we get so one thing I'm finding right now is that that fits a little bit tighter it's having a harder time getting in never had that problem before but let's get the tool in and decode this lock but this is a little bit strange if I'm honest never had this problem but that is a tight tight fit but let's see 4 2 3 6 1 so what I'm going to do is say that these are actually some really cool tools one thing I haven't done with this lock is I actually just got this quick sudden I'm not sure if this is like a zero cut pen or not because of the fact that it is felt like it's almost set especially when I put the tool and let me put this in for you right here and you check out for and I lock it back up to me that looks like it is set I don't know if that was going to be if it is a seven pen seven length pen if that would show up on the lishi it does look maybe a smidge higher sitting higher than six so that could be a seven cut but for the scope of this video I'm calling it a six cut but that does look a little bit higher but when you look at it it does look like it is set that's just one thing to think about but either way guys all that I have for you today this has just been a quick unboxing and initial showing of the genuinely she tools a cheaper alternative to the originally she tools sell for $120 a piece I actually was able to buy this four pack and it came out to about 55 dollars a piece but either way guys is all that I have for you today if you have any questions or suggestions please drop those in the comments section below if you enjoyed this video and you'd like to see more like it please subscribe as always thank you so much for checking the cell and I hope you all have a great day I cannot wait to see you in the next video [Music]
