Default Practically, what is the difference between a "cut resistance" of 8, versus 9, in a Master Padlock?

Um, the size of the cutting tool.


If you were locking a gate, and a shed, and a few other things,
would you think an almost doubling in price between the two worth it?


Before looking at a higher cut resistance lock, look at what it is locking.
It may be easier to cut the hasp than the lock.

One day at work I needed to get into a room that was locked with a padlock.
Could not cut the lock with some 3 feet long bolt cutters it was so
hardened. Moved to the side of the lock and cut the hasp very easy.
