Does this actually exist??

[Raymond]

All right. Everyone has been talking about the goo without knowing any details. What the inventer did not tell was that there have been considerable advances in goo production. First there was smart goo and now there is memory goop. You squirt it in and let it dry a moment. This moment of time is where it senses and sets. Then you spray in the release agent and withdraw the key. When the release agent evaporates, the goop returns to the shape it was when it set. You now have a key that will last about six weeks.

High air pressure from the small CO2 cartridges also has been used. The air pressure forces the pins upward until they reach the shear line. The shear line of the plug allows the air to leak away instead of pushing the pin above the shear. So, when all are at the shear, the plug can be turned. As the pressure is released, the temperature drops below freezing and the pins are held in place for a few seconds.

I remember seeing an addvertisement for a fur lined lock protector but I can't remember where I saw it. The fur is applied by an adhesive. It is a donut shaped piece that circles the key hole. Gives the lock a luxurious feel when inserting the key and prevents scratches around the key hole if you miss.

Well your CO2 Cart is a neat idea but it was already shot down in my pneumatic lock pick section. The freezing of the metals would be able to help not that it makes them stick but it makes them shrink. It would give you a little more play in tolerances to pick it or even bump it. I still wouldn't though because as everyone knows. Cold material is brittle material.

Your memory goo reminds me of magicians wire where it can be molded to any shape you want then when you heat it up it returns to its original shape.

I used to use Memory Goop TM since it first came out but now it is very hard to find as I think it has been out of production for some time most probably for security reasons. Since then I have tried several similar products without such success. Now I have found a simple, cheap, easy and effective way of making keys to most if not all residential home door locks and even some high security pin tumbler commercial locks. I mix Five Minute Araldite and quickly put it into a syringe as soon as possible. IMPORTANT- Use 75:25 resin to hardener ratio (i use digital scales to weigh the mixture so it's just right) Then squirt it into the keyhole of your choice until it oozes out of the keyhole this process will also lift the pins to the correct height at the same time. I then use a ringpull from a soda can and hold it in place as the makeshift keyhead until the glue sets (only a couple of minutes) This glue sets hard but not so hard as to get stuck. The key can then be pushed and pulled using the makeshift ringpull key head until it is removed. Next time you insert it into the lock, hey presto! you have a working key! I'm not sure if what I use is available in all countries but I'm sure you could order some to be shipped to you.
As I said before, this only works with pin tumbler locks, disc locks should be avoided as the key may get jammed.
10 times cheaper than the original Memory Goop TM. And in my opinion, works just as well.
Here is a link to the glue/goo.

The only thing that is remotely close to what you're talking about is the Sputnik tool.

But it doesnt fill the keyhole to the shape of the keyhole, it adjusts the piano wire to push up on the pins in order to pick the lock. In essence it takes on the shape of the key cuts, maybe that's what you were trying to say, not the key's cross section.

I doubt your sister has seen this for sale unless she works at the CIA Gift Shop at Langley.

Squelchtone

that looks awesome

[ARF-GEF]

It has an awesome sum at the price tag too unfortunately

[KPick]

Someone should try this. If this works in a video DEMO, then I'm all for it.

[Quickpicknpay]

It has not been seen on a video demo to my knowledge but from experience it works frighteningly too easily.

[smokingman]

I have seen the goop, there was an interview with the guy
who invented it.
He also invented instant hole and the left handed tension wrench.
Genius at it's finest hour.

[casper111]

Interesting, an idea crossed my mind that such a thing could in theory work but never knew it existed. So I'm guessing it can't just be bought by your average civilian. All for the best I suppose, but it would be interesting to know more.

[dll932]

Some company made pick tools that were like skinny toothbrushes (actually had nylon bristles). We tried em at the shop I worked at...didn't work worth warm spit.

[smokingman]

I remember now, they were called brush picks
and are no longer made if I recall correctly.
Reviews all said they were junk.
I think I saw some at pickmasters,several years ago.

[mechanical_nightmare]

I found an ancient thread that is all about these brush picks. The consensus is the same as what you said, smokingman; that they do not work.

Hi out there!

Back to the decoding tool mentioned: Just found a pic of a KGB-decoding tool on the web - unfortunately without any backgriund information.

Does any of you gentlemen know about this tool or have ever tried it out or even rebuilt it?

Best wishes from Germany

For the automotive side of things, could the OP be referring to something like the Lishi picks?

I don't know what may be out there (or what is even feasible) for pin-tumbler locks.

[C locked]

The same people that make those also make that goop that you can squirt into a cylinder and when it's dry it's the shape of the key that fits the lock. They also make master keys that fit every car and one that fits every padlock. They used to sell brass magnets too, but they have been out of stock for a while now.

Wow you sent my scarcasm detector to 11
Btw who was it who sold the brass magnet? I really need one
Thatll repel ...and telemarketers
