So a friend of mine brings me this lock that is made for locking your trailer hitch, made by Master Lock. Looks like this...
Anyway, his hitch was just a tad wide and the pin would not engage the lock and he wanted me to trim back the tapered head just a bit to make it work. I am thinking this stuff is probably some hardened stainless. I was concerned it would be a bitch to cut but once it was in the lathe it cut like 303, smooth as glass. I don't know how much actual security you might be buying with this lock.
Is this typical or should the customer expect more?
