There are two advantages to the tubular key type locks. They are a little harder to drill, and the torsional forces when actuating the lock are more evenly distributed, thus making the key less likely to break off in the lock. That said, I still use another variant of this type of lock for other applications, because apparently I am a glutton for punishment. As an aside, I met the founder of Kryptonite, Mike Zane, on a plane ride once. Great guy. I had the same thing happen to the same type of lock. There are two advantages to the tubular key type locks.

I just bought this type of lock for our storage unit and am very amused that you used it to trap your wrist with the chain ;) good job on the salining certification though! haha!
