As an added bonus, if you find the other piece of the cut off shackle, you can weld it back together

Thanks guys

so if the shackle is cut in two, it will work if you only have one piece?

How do you mean "will it work" ? Like, can you still pick the keyhole? It will still be able to be picked if there is no shackle, 1/2 a shackle, or a normal uncut shackle.

Im sorry my english isnt very good, what i mean with still work is that i can pick it, it opens, and then i lock it again so i can repick it again for practice

Yes, as Squelchtone said it can still be picked and relocked just fine.
