What did $10 get?
Won an auction for three locks recently. Just got the locks today.
Looks cheap enough. But was it worth the money? You decide. Here is what I got for $9.99 (plus shipping).
Burg 5 lever lock. Worth $10 yet? Meh. Next up...
Abus Granit 37/55 with Abus Plus core, two keys and key tag.
Worth $10 yet? Yeah, I'd say so. But wait... we're not done! One more lock to go...
Uhmmm. Yeah, that's a Fichet padlock with an "H" keyway. Two keys and even the security card.
If you look in the keyway, you can see ball bearings at each lever to reduce wear.
Oh, and here is a picture of the three locks with the addition of an American 747 for scale. These are not tiny locks.
It seems my money was well spent. What do you think?

Just when you think you've learned it all, that is when you find you haven't learned anything yet.
Uhhhh, oh right, it's jealousy.
How about $50 for that Fichet?
