Saturn 7-Cut Determinator

The Saturn Determinator makes quick work of the Saturn 7-CUT lock system. It works in a simple and reliable manner.
Works on all Saturns from 1991 to 1996 using the B76 & B88 keyblanks. Code Series: R, S, T 000-999.
The Saturn 7cut DETERMINATOR set works on all Saturn products using the B88 Key Blank.
When used properly you will be able to generate a key for a vehicle in just a few moments.
There is one key in the Saturn 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.
