abus difficulties

Postby gostone » 2 Feb 2007 19:07

The Abus padlocks tend to be well made, they are made in Germany after all. I have 4 different Abus padlocks, they are all rather challenging. The only easy one of the bunch is the little diskus 24/60.
I would tend to agree with the previous post, start with some easier locks. The Abus locks tend to have spool pins.

abus locks will open quite easy if using a half diamond or a bogota in a jiggling motion. i got a abus 85/70 last week and that was the hardest one to pick only due to its size :)
