OK>>>>> I GOT IT!

Finally opened the brinks R70, it is the hardest lock I have opened, in fact the only lock I was not able to open in a reasonable time. It is a challenge, but should not have been nearly so difficult. After all, how hard can a 4 pin padlock be? Not I have it down to less than 30 seconds........ YAHOO!

congrads,

what did you do different to finally get it?

[gostone]

Heavy tension with a falle tension tool, it seems almost like way too much tension. then I just picked the pins firmly up to shear line from the back to front. I have also managed to rake the lock open, raking vigorously.
