The issue isn't that you could break most any padlock using heavy duty tools, the issue is that you can break any Tapplock without arousing suspicion.

Consider using it for your gym-locker. The changing room is typically occupied by at least some people whenever the gym is open so if someone is pulling out a bolt-cutter or an angle grinder it would probably lead to someone notifying the gym-employees/police. Meanwhile someone who just walks up to the lock and seemingly opens it must be legit and goes unnoticed.
