Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus Locksmith’s Honest Review

 Hey everyone! I’m a locksmith, and today I’m sharing my experience with the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus Tablet – a game-changer in my locksmith toolkit. Before buying, I scoured the internet for a solid review but came up empty-handed. So, I took the plunge, and after a month of heavy use, here’s my no-BS breakdown.

 

What’s in the Box?

First off, the unboxing was pretty satisfying. Here’s what you get:

– Thetablet(the brains of the operation).

– OBD adapter (essential for vehicle programming).

– Super chips case (handy for organization).

– German car adapters (with options to buy more).

– Charger and extra adapters (always good to have backups).

Why I Chose the Key Tool Plus?

I was torn between this and the Autel IM608, but the Key Tool Plus won me over for a few reasons:

  1. Price: At $1,990, it’s cheaper than the Autel IM608.
  2. All-in-one functionality: It does everything – key generation, Super Chip cloning, and even connects to Xhorse cutting machines via Bluetooth.
  3. Familiarity: If you’ve used an XP400 from Autel, this has a similar slot built-in – no extra devices needed.

Features That Blew Me Away

  1. Speed & Efficiency

I wasn’t expecting much, but this thing is FAST. Key programming is smoother than my old device, and the interface, though different, became second nature after a week.

 

  1. Built-in Diagnostics & Readers

– Fabric key reader (Mercedes, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep—no sweat).

– Vehicle diagnostics (not as robust as Autel, but gets the job done).

– FD and Super Chip support (all integrated, no extra gadgets).

 

  1. Battery Life? Unreal

I’ve used this for 3 weeks straight on 30+ cars and still had 62% battery left. It charges via USB-C (easy to replace) and even charges through OBD while working – genius!

 

If you’re used to Autel or AutoProPad, the VVDI Key Tool Plus feels different at first. The workflow isn’t identical, but once you get the hang of it, it’s way more streamlined. I almost returned it after the first week, but now? I’m hooked.

Final Opinion: Should You Buy It?

100% yes

– Cheaper than high-end competitors.

– Does everything the other tool does (despite what some might say).

– Battery life is a beast.

– Bluetooth cutting machine integration is a huge plus.

 

If you’re a locksmith looking for a powerful, affordable, all-in-one tool, the Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus Tablet is worth every penny.

 

Hope this helps fellow locksmiths make an informed choice!
