Master Lock M1 dismantled with nothing more than a Vice-Grip plier.
You can see the aftermath of attacking this weak lock with nothing more than a pair of Vice-Grip pliers.
The outer shell of the lock is garbage, weak to physical attacks and completely inadequate for safety. The rivets are not steel, but some soft material, almost behaving like aluminum.
I simply used the Vice-Grips to first tear off the thin end caps like peeling an orange, then the outer decorative sheath fell off, then I peeled the 4 non-captured rivets out of their places, then sheared the remaining rivet heads off by levering them with the flat side of the wire cutter in the Vice-Grip and finally simply peeled the end plate off exposing the core which fell out easily with the actuator and ball bearings after a light tap on my palm.
You can see the end plate with all of the rivets twisted around at the top of the white towel and all of the twisted metal is the two end caps.
This is quite a sad display of a lock.
