The disclosed invention relates to a padlock comprising a U-shaped-shackle. The invention discloses a sleeve that fits tightly, mostly covering or surrounding a portion of the straight portion of the shackle-toe and wherein the sleeve also fits loosely and mostly covering or surrounding a small portion of the U-shaped-shackle-head nearest the shackle-toe. The sleeve being designed to deter a jawed manual bolt-cutting tool from cutting apart the shackle-toe of a padlock that comprises a U-shaped shackle. The sleeve also being designed large enough to be prevented from being pulled through the hole, staple, or link the padlock shackle is secured therein, therefore, mandating the shackle-toe remains in the hole, staple, or link the shackle-toe is secured therein. After cutting the shackle-heel or the shackle-head apart and wherein a portion of the U-shaped shackle-head remains attached to the shackle-toe, the disclosed invention sleeve will remain secured in place on the shackle-toe as any curved portion of the shackle-head will not allow the sleeve to slide off of its position on the shackle-toe, therefore, the padlock remains locked and secured in place.
