Thoughts on KLOM padlock shims?

Postby Smrtz » 31 Oct 2014 0:32

I'm getting tired of having to find/cut up a can every time I'd like to shim a padlock, so I'm planning on buying a set of shims.

You can get a set of 10 KLOM shims on AliExpress for $6[1], and on amazon for $11[2]. Can anyone tell me how these compare to the Southard set?

I have bought some things on aliexpress and they were the same quality tools that I used to pay full retail on.

These guys have some good prices as well, oh I recall I'm not supposed to actually put this info on here, I guess it's a sin to be too helpful.
PM me and I'll be happy to divulge the info
