Just posted a blog about fixing an #ebike for a local bike workshop. The story includes gratuitous battery photos, #locksport #lockpicking as the battery was locked in the frame but the happy result was a working ebike that's now for sale. #biketooter #SolarPunkSunday #repair

Out of the pack triple-pick of Bunker Hill laminated 40mm padlocks.
Thoughts? These locks are worth the ~$1 each I spent on them, but not much more than that. The "4-pin cylinders" that "prevent picking" is a pretty laughable statement. I spent about 30 seconds each, which isn't bad for never having touched this brand of lock before. Worse pick-feel than Master locks, squishy cores that rattle a lot.
The packaging told me I'd be prevented from picking these, so I got 13 new locks today.
Then I recorded unboxing-picking of all of them for Fedi.
