I Never Tried It, But If It Works. Can You Make A Vid Showing How To Open A Pad Lock When Its Locked Onto Something?

This works V E R Y well! :-)
People, My daughter can do it. although, a blue faced Master combo lock has defeated all attempts! :-)

Naw, this doesn’t work. In most cases a shim made out of light aluminum will rip.

I can never get the lock to open. Either I can’t get the shim in or the shim actually rips. IdeaS?

Yes. Yes it does.

Basically, the metal shim is moving the piece of metal out of the gap in the left shackle, allowing it to open.
