Craig Gardner Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I havent tried it but if I am paying good money I would expect it to work straight out the box. And my point is that if you read the origional posting, their were no issues at first, and it did work straight out of the box did'nt it ? well my machine did not work right out of the box or with time setting it up but i have to admit it was just a duff machine as the replacement arrived today and worked straight out of the box.and not only that no mole grips and hammers needed just to remnmove blade or tracer. craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I havent tried it but if I am paying good money I would expect it to work straight out the box. Both my Triax and unocode399 worked straight out of the box and the only issue we have had is re-callibrating once every couple of months on the triax and we have never had to do anything to the unocode other than fit new cutters. But thats why we paid so much money for these machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Davis Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 This may be stating the blatantly obvious, but if you buy a new unproven product you will be ironing out the glitches, i've heard of a few people having problems copying HU66 keys and apparantly it's a very slow process to cut any key? (just what i've heard i've not bought one) On the plus side it's very versitile and extremely cheap, as with most things you get what you pay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garagetools Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good morning everyone, Interesting site, because I want to start by mid-2011 with key service for cars. motorcycle and truck I am here on the right place I guess. I was initially looking for a Miracle-A5 Key Cutting Machine but according to this forum, the Miracle-A5 has not become so many good reviews yet? My question is what you do advise me as experienced professionals on this forum, what is the minimum investment to continue and make a good start? Can any of you guys give me as soon as possible an answer? Thanks in advance for your comments allready! With Kind Regards, Eddy de Jong Garagetools the Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremesecurity Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Pete from Lockdecoders will be the first to admit there has been a few little problems with software on the A5 but has been working close with Ho the man behind the A5 to sort this out, and i have had the latest software on my machine for about 2 weeks and cut loads of keys and can say i havn't had one problem, i CAN'T fault the machine, the only other machine for the same sort of money is the Chaka Bay (Chuck Away) that wont decode and wont cut a tibbe key. So if you are looking for a good mobile all round machine its the A5 all the way for me John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decker Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 £20k should get you some of the machines and some of the stock. but it won't buy you any knowledge or experience... very true steven, i would say the first 3 years as a auto locksmith are learn learn learn hopefuly with not too many costly cock ups and reinvest all your profits in new software / machines. after that its plain sailing, then you just continue to keep learning and only reinvest 75% of your profits in new gear. it certainly is a long continuous learning curve.

keymobile Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Running A5 machine for the last 4 weeks and find it brilliant.Instead of two trips on lost key jobs getting all done on one visit.Saving on diesel too. I am based in Ireland if anyone wants to see machine running more than happy to show them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
