Japanese 1 (X176) Determinator

The Japanese 1 Determinator works on a variety of import vehicles. No need to pull a door panel anymore!! In just a matter of minutes you can generate a key quickly and simply to get your customer on the road.
The Mitsubishi/Isuzu/Geo 8-CUT DETERMINATOR set works on all Mitsubishi/Isuzu/Geo 8-CUT products using the X176, X184, X185 Key Blanks.
When used properly you will be able to generate a key for a vehicle in just a few moments.
There is one tool in the Mitsubishi/Isuzu/Geo 8-CUT DETERMINATOR set.
The DETERMINATOR determines the depth of a tumbler by trapping the 3 and 4 tumblers and passing the 1 and 2 tumblers.
As you decode the lock record an "A" if the DETERMINATOR passes a tumbler and record a "B" if it is trapped.
Cut all "A" cuts to a 1 1/2 depth, and cut all "B" cuts to a 3 1/2 depth. The result is a custom half-cut tryout key.

THE TOOL
The DETERMINATOR is a decoding tool and a tumbler release tool.
The DETERMINATOR has numbers stamped on both sides of the blade.
These numbers correspond to the tumbler space locations.
When the tool is inserted into the look, the number closest to the face of the lock indicates the space which is being determined.
When the DETERMINATOR traps a 3 or 4 tumbler you will use the spring steel release tool to raise the tumbler and withdraw the DETERMINATOR to the next tumbler location.
Slide the release tool along the slot in the side of the tool, sloped end first. You will feel it raise the tumbler, slowly pull the DETERMINATOR out a little to the next space and remove the release tool.
