Conduct Sledgehammer Impact Test

What happens here

With the lock securely in place, don safety glasses and work gloves for protection. Using a heavy sledgehammer, begin striking the trailer hitch lock repeatedly. Start with moderate force and progressively increase the intensity of the blows to simulate a determined attempt at forced entry or removal. Observe how the lock withstands these impacts, looking for any signs of deformation, cracking, or loosening. The primary goal is to test the lock's physical integrity and resistance to brute force.

Goal: Assess the physical resilience of the lock against brute force attacks.
