Is this something you do often? I could see a few use cases and also for copying garage keys. But I don't think I would use it enough to justify the investment

This is not a rational purchase - most of the rule breaking done with the zero is for fun or convenience, rather than being truly illegal.

It used to be more fun before the hotels started handing out NFC unlocks with your phone.

Still, being able to send each other a key for a hotel room on Signal is a nice trick if you are traveling with a sufficiently tech savvy group of people.

You can't even clone you garage door opener key anyway.

Flipper Zero and its clones have always been pseudohacker nonsense. Fun little party trick I suppose.

Nope! Only occasionally. But it’s handy on those occasions.
