welcome to the forum, and have lots of fun :)

crappy padlocks - well, think about it - £1 for the lock, 30-50% for the retailer, 5-10% transport, some percent for the workers, how much is left for good material? And how much for high quality tools? :)

Hello,

I havent been on these forums for months and havent done much picking, I see your from the UK judging by the silver locks, look very farmiliar as I have some myself:)

Yeah these padlocks are of very poor design, very easy to pick, all the locks from Poundland/Poundstretcher suck! I have a few, even the big big lock they sell sucks, buy yourself a Yale cyclinder or an abus padlock:)

Good luck!

for me, the crappiest lock ever is Maurer. I only have to set one pin (out of four) and it opens! Now that takes less than 1sec which makes it the fastest lock I've ever picked :D :D
