Master Thumbwheel (175) Padlock

[TOWCH]

These locks are a joke, they are shim and manipulation resistant, but can be bypassed with stuff you can find on the street in seconds.

So I have this bet going with my dad. I said I could break into his master padlock he just got (to keep my little sister away from the booze but i'm already 21 so no worries here) and he says it's impossible. I will prove him wrong it's only a matter of time.

What I dont wanna do anymore is try every single possibility, I've cracked all his other simple 3 digit lock but nothing like this new challenge If anyone could give me feedback or advice on how to aproach this that would be great. Make it a great day!!!!!

The thread itself is about the Abus version of this padlock, but halfway down the thread linked below, BudWiser explains two methods of bypass.
