USB Car Key Impressioner - Awesome if your using it
Brandon Davenport
Introducing: the reason why your moms next car will be stolen, or if your a car thief, your best friend. This little gem came to be after Steve Randall and Ted Schwarzkopf created the Electronic Key Impressioner after being frustrated seeing his father try to make a replacement car key without the ID code. If it works, it could be great news for locksmiths and other authorized security professionals in need of a way to whip up a replacement key in a snap.
After its inserted into a car door and scans the position of the tumblers inside, it feeds information back to a PC over USB which then, can provide the necessary information to cut the perfect key on the first attempt. It will be available sometime in 2010. Oh boy...
