More on Padlocks

Another variation, which can be bought if high levels of safety and protection are required by the consumer, is the “octagonal shackle” combination padlock. Octagonal shackles, when compared to rounded ones, are generally known to be a lot stronger and a lot less easy to break. For instance, tests have shown that this alternative shackle is more resistant to the use of bolt cutters and other tools used. At the same time, this padlock is fully weather-resistant and comes at a relatively low cost.
