Today at Intermountain Lock & Security Supply I took advantage of the sale they had going on for the Kwikset Smart Key Reset Cradle second addition. I was told that it fixed a couple issues that were complained about so I bought one just to have a back up in case anything happens to the older one I have. Then I thought it would be a great opportunity to do an unboxing of the Kwikset Reset Cradle for you guys and give you my opinion on the two tools while rekeying a smart key lock. 

My original Kwikset Smart Key Reset Cradle is the red one and I have been successfully rekeying locks using this device for quite sometime now without any noticeable issues. After unboxing the new black rest cradle I didn't immediately notice any differences in the tools. Actually unless there is a difference in the mechanical gears inside the tool I do not notice a difference between the two tools whatsoever and showed that in the video below as I rekey them both with the same lock and key set.
