I got one in order.

Lock is tight and springs open crisply when key is turned. Me likey! |

Wb locks are used by a lot of utilities
The brass locks with brass shackles cut like butter and bend easy too. Never seen the stainless steel version The brass locks do open easy after long periods of not opening. |

I was raised in Marion, OH. Wasn't sure there was much still coming out of there except heroin. Good to see.

After the last bunch of American locks I ordered I may change to the 2 inch stainless version for my operation.
They have a lot of neat options that you can get with their locks. thanks op |

I just visited this weekend, the place is slowly turning into a shithole. The rustbelt is invading the cornfields. |

I think Whirlpool is still in operation, so that's probably keeping the city barely hanging on. Besides that, I know alot of residents there commute to the Honda plant. There's a few growing small industries there but I don't think they employ alot. Sad really. Last time I was up that way I wanted to show my kids the old ball fields I played on at Lincoln park, that place is in bad shape |

WB are actually better quality than most of the Master locks you see at the store. They have tighter tolerances which makes them harder to pick, but I don't think they have any security pins. First time, took me about 20 minutes to pick it. About 2 minutes the second time. An experienced picker could probably do it in less than 30 seconds. Still good for general security because most dumbasses would just use bolt cutters on just about any padlock. That's where the heavier and shielded locks come in. These end up being more like tamper seals - keeping the good folks out of utility boxes.

One guy got stuck with a used needle when he put his hands down for pushups. We found a couple more in the immediate area once we started looking. 
We did it at Harding HS after that. |

High Security (Double Ball Locking) These padlocks have two stainless steel balls that lock both sides of the padlock shackle, and a five-pin tumbler mechanism that allows for a wide variety of keying systems. They are specifically designed for high security areas such as government facilities, security gates, utility substations and industries in a highly corrosive environment such as the transportation industry. We offer over 40 models of high security padlocks, available with hardened steel, brass, stainless steel or hardened stainless steel shackles. Brass and stainless steel materials prevent rusting and extend the life of the padlock.

Had a co-worker buy a lock pick set on ebay said after an hour of youtube videos he could open a WB in 30 seconds. I'm guessing a switch lock or an Abloy would be damn near impossible to pick. |

How I used to keep a bucket of these locks that I cut off so that I could turn the water on when I was doing plumbing work. Made sure to hide any that were laying around when an inspector might be around. |

No. The locks on the locks are American I believe. At least that's what's on the key I think. I would have to double check. Tho. |

The stuff in that picture only really stops shimming and by-passing. EDIT: Those keyways look HUGE too.... |
