It's a master lock, it won't give you as much practice time as you hope.

Anything is practice. Repetitive behavior hones skills. Experience is experience, good or bad. Maybe the skill is doing in the open quick enough to not draw attention.

I'm aware. If you really want a pedantry fight:

Nothing about my comment implies it would be a long practice session.

Very curious about a hypothetical: You pick the lock and secure it elsewhere on the bench so that it's not lost and accidentally affix a proper lock keeping the bench in the bench position.

I was not looking for any kind of fight and I actually did suspect you knew. I was just hopping on the opportunity to mock Master Lock, since I know they make some of the worst locks on the market.

Full disclosure: I have zero lock picking skills. I probably couldn't pick this lock if I tried.

You probably could. They're really not very hard.

not just the worst, but they somehow manage to release new locks that are worse than their old ones, as well as new locks with positively ancient design flaws that every lock manufacturer absolutely knows about, like not including a rear shield in the core, meaning you can just... stick something in there and open it trivially. i'm talking design flaws from the 1800s and early 1900s. their most secure core is used in a PLASTIC LOTO LOCK and none of their metal locks, for no fucking reason. the incompetence is unbelievable.

Fair enough. My hackles are usually up thanks to how people treat me.
