      The problem is that padlocks, by their very design, are subject to brute-force attacks. Just twist it with a wrench and either the lock or whatever is holding it will break, whichever is weaker.
      But that core on some other lock that isn't a padlock could be great.

      And many of these tools can be fabricated "in the field" from windshield wipers and coke cans.

    There are knock-offs of the foldout picks, Temu even sell the "case" for pennies. But what I see is the single pick hooks that rotate out are difficult to use as there is no leverage and fingers are hard up against the lock body. I have seen experienced lock pickers use the set with ease whereas for beginners it is an added degree of difficulty. The other downside is use of the fold out tools can twist and bend the tool. Then when folding back into the "case" picks no longer align for smooth interleaving without adjustment. The picks used in this video are designed to overcome the short picks with no real leverage. Is that an acknowledgement of the design of the foldouts to be of value they need experienced pickers?

    I'd be interested in some destructive tests. But tests of a certain nature. There's a difference when it comes to brute force between two crow bars that fit in a backpack and ones as long as your legs and I would say the same about bolt cutters, withstanding one that fits in a back pack isn't nothing. Withstanding the two (or maybe more) wrench trick isn't nothing. Withstanding the admittedly more noisy drift hammer, small sledge hammer that will fit in a backpack, isn't nothing, with or without a large cold chisel.
    Now with the exception of the hammer all of these are relatively quiet. A lot quieter than a drill, saw or a grinder. Sometimes with chain, 5/16" or 3/8" square security chain say from Pewag or ABUS or others it's just easier to join the chain with a padlock although yes other lock types exist. Some of them cost more than what's being discussed though.
    If the chain can't easily be cut with small or even large bolt cutters then I'd like a lock that can do the same, withstand bolt cutters, especially small ones and not pop open with 1-6 blows of a hand sledge, two normal crowbars or multiple wrenches using the so called two wrench method or other simple means. I sort of accept that grinders, drills with special bits and saws with special blades can defeat, if not the lock, then the chain. It's always about the weakest link.
    This lock isn't as easy to pick as many are and isn't very expensive, so, I am interested in it if it resists brute force attacks pretty well.
    It's big and intimidating looking but so is the U.S. General lock from Harbor Freight that this lawyer, in the video, popped open with multiple wrenches using the so called "two wrench method".
    If the lock in the video can be opened easily like that then I'm not very interested.
    That's my point of view.
    I have my reasons to ask and be curious about it.
    Sure someone could twist with two 36" long pipe wrenches and other approaches that sure I'd like to see but I'm less worried about some attacks than others.
    And this isn't all about hasps and breaking hasps either.
    People put big chains and locks on trailers and generators and all sorts of things...and more than one thing to the point where you start thinking about the cost of locks...and considering Chinese locks sold in Mexico that you've never heard of before this video...

    So, what I've been seeing, over time, is most mass produced locks, are easy to pick.
    And, as a country, we are quite lucky lock picking isn't a national pastime.
    What would recommend, to securely lock a home, storage unit, shed, etc etc?

    Well worth the wait
