The LT1005 Impressioning Pliers are specialized impressioning pliers designed to securely hold key blanks during the impressioning process. Unlike conventional locking pliers, the Lockmasters Imp-Grip has been re-machined specifically to grip a key blank, providing improved stability and control when performing impressioning and filing operations.

Designed for Key Impressioning

Impressioning is a skill used by professional locksmiths to create working keys by identifying contact marks left by lock components on a key blank. The LT1005 Impressioning Pliers are engineered to help maintain a firm hold on the key blank throughout the process, allowing for accurate mark reading and controlled filing.

The re-machined jaw design differentiates the Imp-Grip from standard locking pliers by providing a more secure grip on a key blank without requiring improvised holding methods.
