AD900PRO OR THE ZED BULL


Recommended Posts

HELLO, I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE LOCKSMITH THAT IS THINKING OF PURCHASING AN ADVANCED CLONER. I HAVE READ AS MUCH AS I COULD ON THE ZED BULL BUT THERE IS NOT MUCH INFO ON THIS

MACHINE. SOME PEOPLE SAY THE ZED BULL IS GREAT AND OTHERS SAY IT IS COMPLICATED WITH SPARSE TECH. SUPPORT. THE AD900PRO HAS THE TECH SUPORT BUT DOESNT DO AS MANY VEHICLES

AS THE ZED BULL. AD IS A GREAT COMPANY, HOWEVER THE UPGRADE SOFTWARE PACKAGES ARE A STRUGGLE FOR US TO BUY IN THESE TIMES.

 

HAS ANYONE USED THESE CLONERS AND IF SO COULD YOU ELABORATE ON THEM.

I bought a Zedbull about a month ago and thought I'd have a struggle getting to grips with it. However I was pleasently surprised - the software takes you through the steps with great clarity and as derek has said, once you have done a few keys its easy-peasy. Tech support from Hickleys is great, talk to Phil in support department, he knows his stuff.

Strattec ez clone, that's a new one on me, never heard of that one before. For me its the AD900 Pro (A former the keycrypt pro, now running AD900 software & firmware \:D/ ) Lots of users, easy to use.

 

what you planning on doing with it? just cloning or eprom?

The Strattec ez cloner is a realllll!!! simple cloner. it was discontinued before it could be upgraded. strattec makes the ford,chrsyler,chevy,transponder keys. there was some complaint

about them making their high security keys and making a machine that would copy them. GO FIGURE!

 

Whatwe are going to buy is a machine that will do the a great amount of the us+euro.vehicles and that can be upgraded without selling having to sell my dog, the farm and my wife.(in that order too)

After coming back from the Zedbull training day last week, and using it several times through our shop I can give an honest opinion that the Zebull is definatley not difficult to use, and runs on a par with the AD900 untill you use the software package option for the Zedbull. This is more relavent if you programme chips using AD100/MVP aswell, as the Zedbull makes chips from blank chips so with a very limited stock you will have 99% of all chips needed. If you only want it for shop based key cutting I would recommend looking at the JMA TS5000 with TPX Cloner full package as this system seems to be at the forefront of cloning technology (TPX2/TPX4). AND as i understand at the moment SKS will give you trade in for old silca fast copy/RW4 machines.

Keycrypt for me. Its just a shame lockdecoders no longer have anything to do with it. Love the way the company deals with customers.

 

So, its an AD900 now. Great machine.

 

Thanks for that Graeme. You are right it is a pity, but what can we do.

It is a great machine, but we believe we have built something a lot better.
