Master Lock sells the 2650 padlock as a means for ADA compliance and assist people with limited dexterity or grip issues. It isn't terrible at that but it also is basically a lousy copy of a Yale padlock design from over a century ago, with no real improvement in security or tamper resistance (they did change from a flat key to a corrugated key so they did /something/).
Picking the 2650 can be done similarly to the methods used on the Yale No. 800 from 1890 but as the plug withdraws to free the shackle the rear driver pins will engage with the forward plug chambers requiring you to pick the lock two or three times each time you open or close the shackle. Why go through all that trouble when you can just use a cylinder shim?
