These are a bit lighter weight than I expected, but for roughly $2 each I’m not going to complain. They seem to be fairly well constructed and considering some of my friends have said I resemble a shaved gorilla I was impressed that I couldn’t pull it apart with brute force. If the need arises I’d buy them again.I must say that over all for the price they are decent locks. There is a maneuver to figure out but once you got it its a breeze~ I would order them again for the value and having the combo.That’s what I get for being cheap. An extra trip down to the UPS store to return these turds of a lock. I managed to set the combo on about five of them but decided to return at about the third lock that I set the combination on and wouldn’t open back up. Definitely don’t need to go through the hassle of having to cut these these off or break them open though judging by how cheap they are I don’t that would be an issue. Casing is cheap plastic stuff and the metal loop is very thin, much thinner than the pictures make it appear to be. My advice would be toSpend the extra $4-5 and get something worth a damn
