    I like the key cut on one of the keys.
    A few rakes and it should open, due to the slight variation in the key cuts.
    Would raping work on this padlock?

    Me too. I bet raping would't work due to two different pining combinations!

    Back to being serious, do these padlocks have anti-rapping design features? Are they inherently resistant? Or, are they a poor design from this standpoint?

    Can you open this lock with 1 key ? The one that I saw on Ebay, you could open with either key...Musta missed that one.......I only saw Gizmo's lock..my lock pocket is too thin, but I would like to add one like his to my collection, someday...
    Gizmo, have you had any offers?.......................Donnie
