Peterson has taken a great thing and made it better. The original Sidewinder Shim Extractor provided a powerful method of sliding in along side a broken key & catching the tip of it with the bendable sharp tip as you draw the extractor back out. We have been told that those tools have even been used to remove broken keys from high security automotive ignitions (caution advised). Now there are two additional profiles that target the actual key cuts. Not only do they work well, they solve the problem encountered when the broken key tip is up solid against the back of a closed cylinder and you can't get the original sidewinder’s sharp tip past the front of the key.

QUESTION: The Sidewinders are designed VERY thin: when a broken key is pushed back into the keyway, do they have enough strength to lift the cylinders pins out of the way?

ANSWER: Simply insert another key into the key way behind the broken piece. This lifts the pins and provides sufficient guidance to allow for immediate success!
