Lishi products have been on the market for a long time, but they have only recently attracted wide press attention. The reason was a video on the LockPickingLawyer YouTube channel, where the device was demonstrated in action on a Ford Explorer lock — it was this recording that interested journalists.

The footage shows that the tool is made of metal and is quite compact. The multi-tool design includes two plates that are inserted into the door lock cylinder and follow the contours of the key. Handling such a pick does not require special skills, and opening takes about 50 seconds.

True, about 10 seconds after opening, the car alarm goes off — this happens because there is no key nearby.

The main purpose of the Lishi pick in relation to cars is to get into the cabin if the key was accidentally left inside and the doors are locked. It should be emphasized that the tool is suitable not only for cars, but also for other types of locks.

In online stores, Lishi can be found for an average of $90.
