I always likes the 89 series (brass version), because it is much more unassuming then locking your shed with an Abloy or Abus granite, while still giving you many of the features you want from a high security lock. The price is also very reasonably at 20-30 dollars. Were high security is not critical (because of the brass body/thin shackle), I find these to be ideal locks.
Hey great video, did i understand you right that also the little brother 88/40 cant be shimed? I got a Abus EC75 today but i think will return it to the store since i saw a video where the lock was opened by shiming.

Both the 88 and 89 series of locks use ball bearings to lock the shackle. They cannot be shimmed.
