Easily open a Masterlock padlock by tapping it with a hammer

Excellent video! Thanks.

That’s a fairly standard lock mechanism encased in a heavy and elaborate casing. If I can manage to work around the casing, there’s nothing preventing my usual techniques from working (including the “smash it with a hammer between the shackle legs” technique). But I think if I had to get through that one in a hurry I’d probably borrow an angle grinder :wink:
