Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this padlock. It's been a while since I've had something close to a full-size lock (I usually stick to those smaller compact locks.) After feeling it out, most of it is molded plastic, which is a bit disappointing. It does feel like there's a metal core inside from using the code and keys, though it's hard to confirm without taking it apart. I will say it definitely feels more like a light-duty lock, but it does have some weight to it adding some huff.The dial wheels are small and slightly further back than I'd like, so they can be a bit tricky to spin. Also, the lock only really works in a specific order. If the key is in a certain position, the dials won't move, so you kind of have to learn how it wants to be used. If you try to switch between the key and code without resetting things properly, the latch may not want to release. It takes a bit of muscle memory to get used to this one.It does feels a bit lower cost in design at the end of the day. It's fairly chunky, which I like, but the shackle doesn't look really thick or hardened. It feels more like a deterrent than real security like most budget locks. I wouldn't trust it with anything high-value, but for something like a locker or gym bag, it's fine. It looks decent, feels okay in the hand, and works as intended.
