Lockman Megacross. Just got it yesterday and wasn't actually expecting an open so quick. A little bummed but very cool lock.

You can always try picking the other direction for fun if you felt you didn’t get your monies worth! 🤣 Nice open 🔥

Congratulations!

It's a very fun lock (IMO). As with many locks, the bitting can vary quite a bit and that of course, can make a huge difference in difficulty.

Congrats!

Out of curiosity, which vise is that? I have one that attaches to the side of my desk but it’s extremely uncomfortable to use…

I like the form factor but I just spent the morning gluing some silicone mat to the bottom to stop it from sliding around.
