American vs Euro

[TheSkyer]

I was wondering what you guys generally consider harder locks to pick, American or European once? I myself have the feeling the cheaper American locks such a Yale and Master are Allot easier to pick than let's say ABUS or Corbin (not sure if Corbin is european....). What do you think?

I say you speak of blasphamy!!!!

Honestly I don't see a difference in the locks so much as I see a difference in the quality of the locks. I know it sounds stupid, but i've picked through euro locks a couple of times and wouldn't say they're any easier or harder to pick than an american made lock.

Euro locks have more variety in their design and internal mechanisms, but I don't find them to be any harder to pick.

The usual problem I have with euro locks: Most are case studies in masochism and depression when you want to disassemble/reassemble them.
