Who does this?

Well, I did say "tougher time".

BTW, those videos from the "the Lockpicking Lawer" are great. It's comical how easily he breaks a variety of locks with that pipe wrench.

Here’s a good one: opening a laminated Master lock... ...simply by hitting it with... ...a laminated Master lock.

Let’s not get totally cynical here. A $15+ plus padlock is not as susceptible as a cheapo. I don’t care what brand it has on the front label. Now anything, as I said before, is no match for a side angle grinder with a diamond or carbide blade. But this is dollar store junk vs 2ft pipe wrenches.
