The 1500iD Speed Dial uses<br \/>\ndirectional<br \/>\nmovements in place of the standard number dial allowing you to secure<br \/>\nyour<br \/>\nvaluables faster and with greater ease. On the other hand, the Precision<br \/>\n Dial<br \/>\n1590D uses the conventional right-left-right movement with both letters<br \/>\nand<br \/>\nnumbers to diversify the combination. Similarly, both locks are equipped<br \/>\n with<br \/>\nMaster Lock\u2019s anti-shim technology. The anti-shim mechanism uses a latch<br \/>\nassembly to block and trap the intrusion of a shim tool. Likewise, the<br \/>\nlocks<br \/>\nare endowed with hardened steel shackles with similar dimensions. <br \/><\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"3\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<p><font size=\"3\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;\">The<br \/>\nPrecision Dial has a sturdier construction than that of the Speed<br \/>\nDial. Unlike previous models, the dial \u201cclicks\u201d when rotating for the<br \/>\ndesired<br \/>\ncombination. Furthermore, the Precision Dial comes with a key to reset<br \/>\nand<br \/>\nchange the combination unlike the Speed Dial which was a more daunting<br \/>\ntask.<br \/>\nAfter searching for the combination on the instruction guide and<br \/>\nwatching the<br \/>\ninstructional video, I thought I knew what I was doing. While holding<br \/>\nthe<br \/>\nshackle down and putting in the factory combination, I decided to reset<br \/>\nit to<br \/>\nan easier combination. Unfortunately, I locked it without the<br \/>\ncombination, now<br \/>\nthe lock deemed \u201cuseless.\u201d As it should be, combination retrieval<br \/>\nrequires a<br \/>\nlong process of photocopying the lock and serial number to ensure that<br \/>\nyou are<br \/>\nnot breaking into a safe or locked unit as well as filling out forms.<br \/>\nAfter<br \/>\neverything is said and done, it takes approximately 4-6 weeks for your<br \/>\nrequest<br \/>\nto be processed. This being said, make sure the shackle is pressed<\/span><br \/>\n down and move the center piece to the full extent in the<br \/>\ndesired direction. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><font size=\"3\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The 1500iD Speed Dial comes in<br \/>\nred, blue, black\/white, and<br \/>\nblack\/green while the Precision Dial 1590D comes in light blue,<br \/>\nblack\/blue,<br \/>\ngreen and red. The Speed Dial can also be customized with included<br \/>\nstickers to<br \/>\nhelp remember your combination. Overall, I was more fond of the<br \/>\nPrecision Dial<br \/>\nwith an easy set up and sturdy construction. Both the Speed Dial and<br \/>\nPrecision<br \/>\nDial sell for around $10.00.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/1590D-RESETTABLE-COMBINATION-PADLOCK-ASSORTED\/dp\/B003CZBH0W\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=hi&amp;qid=1271956788&amp;sr=1-2&tag=luupwebsite-20\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">Grab<br \/>\nyour own:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B002TSN4SQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=techcomprepa-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002TSN4SQ&tag=luupwebsite-20\"><br \/>\n 1500id Combination: Amazon.com:     $11.93<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003CZBH0W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=techcomprepa-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003CZBH0W&tag=luupwebsite-20\">Resettable<br \/>\n Combination:\u00a0 Amazon.com:   $10.00\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> To<\/p>\n<p>See More Reviews Visit us at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/techiteens.com\/review.aspx\"> TechiTeens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set-Your-Own Combination 1500iD Speed Dial and Precision Dial Comparison By MasterLock \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Master Lock has created 2 new padlock designs with 2 very different \u201cspins\u201d on the classic dial.
