It only protects you from tweakers armed with cutters. Industrious tweakers with better tools at their disposal might be able to crush it or melt it.

>industrious tweakers with better tools

They're probably breaking in hoping to steal tools to sell. If they had decent tools they would have already sold them. It's not impossible but well-equipped tweakers are far less likely than other kinds of thief.

On the other hand they're batshit crazy enough to try other means, why bother trying to break into a storage unit when you can chain the door handle to your (also stolen) car and rip the whole unit door off.

Like, say, a Hytek 6000W fiber laser cutter?
At least it eliminates the majority from contention.
