It's not just a car theft tool, its not really even intended for that. It's just a neat little multi tool and it isn't even close to the first or only device capable of repeating recorded codes. A hammer can be used to break into a car really easily and nobody's ever called those "car theft tools disguised as hand-tools"
Yes sorry if that was miscommunicated. It's a neat multi tool, that has a fun design. It's not a tool for stealing cars, but can be used for that kind of thing.
Really its a wonder we didn't have really simple radio tools for theft before.
