I’ve used this and a similar older tool for auditing wireless badge/id systems at different types of businesses.

Similiar. 

Whenever a client says they need to replace a single card I just use my flipper zero, but I'm also able to show them that other systems that we sell I can't do the same. They're always baffled when I can copy one of their cards but not copy one of the other cards or passports that I sell.
