Review on ABUS 55 40 Padlock Different by Bobby Plymell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bought this for Locksport and collecting coils.

Between trap and spool pin I made 2 or 3 wrong sentences when picking this lock. I haven't combed it yet, mostly because I know it works and has less finesse to comb through attacks than having an SPP core with coils in it. The reality of this lock is that once you have practiced with 40mm Master Locks it will be a natural next step. 40mm iirc with 1 coil then go ahead with that as it has the most coils. If you're wondering how the tension works on the top of the keyway and is tight at .04", you can definitely use short hooks there starting at .02", BUT I've found more success with a deep hook at .015". Although I did use TOK with the deep hook as my first approach to blocking after hearing the LPL talk about how bottom work with deep hooks can go a long way in defeating evil wards and high cut pins for low cut.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Upgrade available
