The locks are not for security, rather, for "cotter pin wrasslin' avoidance". Yes the locks are easy to remove, that's the pointI think the cotter pins are harder to remove than those locks off the lime green ones. Small locks can be busted off with a pry bar and cut like butter with bolt cutters. Meanwhile those darn cotter pins take forever to get out of the hole.
When watching winching and recovery videos, I see it recommended to pack along extra shackles. I already have four. I want to be able to remove them easily, but not lose them on the trail like I might with hitch pins. Madness, with method in it.
