It works ok on master lock #5, It works great on combo locks like you had on your high school locker. and also on a few other low quality pad locks. you also need enough space to flip the lock around to get to the other side. It also takes a little trial and error, so I don't recomend trying it on something in public view, It may take a while. I does not work on american, or other high quality locks. I've had it work for me a few times, and a few times I gave up. I have a friend that seems to be a lot better at it than me. I'm on vacation now so I left all my "tools" at home, California has some strict laws about that kind of stuff. I'll try to use it in a real life situation in the next couple days cause its all I have to work with. And one more thing, WD-40 is always your friend when dealing with old locks.

I have had bad experiences using real shims, much less makeshift ones. I have found that good padlocks are designed pretty well to prevent shims from working. Either that or I have not found the right technique.
Brute force is the last resort of the incompetent.
