What's the problem with different shades/colors - it's different products! (One is 60 mm, the other is 75 mm, and they are made from different materials.) The big problem is that both locks have laughable flaws.

@666Tomato666 5 ай бұрын

@@runeodin7237 Because real brands have very specific colours they associate with. You won't find green DeWalt tools, or a blue CVS Pharmacy logo, because the particular yellow and red is part of their brand identity. If not even a registered trademark. Given that they don't care for stuff though in Econ 101 class, it's no wonder they completely dropped the ball on actually making a semi-decent product.

Other thought. He found a lock he couldn't beat and is still working on it. Hopefully, that is the case, so we can all have security again.
