ORIGINAL - KROOKLOK

Thought I would share my findings on this - would not recommend this product - no cutting equipment required

photos to come - its possible to remove the lock & housing with very little effort and no damage & rebuild the unit

What their advertising skips is that the lock is made to benefit "krooks"

Shitty things! 80's tech done badly.

Haha. Interesting. Thanks Ringo

How they must have giggled on the factory floor - when building these things - looks like the product did well and sold - millions of units worldwide

the lock of course was designed to lock a foot pedal to the steering wheel - giving ample room for this attack

now for the boring stuff : lock is a 5 wafer & used a double bitted key - blank ilco 1527 or silca LF23R

Of course You are right that this thing is built in a crummy way, but to the thief that didn't get a chance to examine it beforehand,
I betcha it makes the next (un armed) vehicle look pretty good. I know I have a bicycle lock from about the same period and it seems
pretty flimsy and junky, but compared to a bike without a lock, mebbe it does seem a challenge, to a thief, to find easier pickings

Then again maybe you don't need to keep an honest person honest
