    The question must be - What Tool$$$$$ must buy

    With one tool you can't start also you will need cuting machine and minimum 1 year learning

    I understand..
    I would like to start to renew used key, clean them and add to car - sell for others.
    Next step after year of learning I can think for cuting machine etc

    Yes I agree.
    I think maybe the best thing to do.
    Is to start with old PCB's from computers found on the junkyard.
    And just learn how to remove. Clean and solder back.
    EEPROM, microprocessors.

    Its free. Dont need expensive equipment.
    Low cost is OK. But need adjustable temperature, on the solder iron.
    And then need a lot of practice.
    And low cost set of solder tools.
    Start with this a couple of months.

    And then move on to junkyard locks.
    dismantle into pieces.
    Many different models, from different cars.
    Work with this for a while. Its low cost.

    After this, its OK to look at the rest.
    And maybe get a programmer, or something.
