I've got a padlock that's been outside too long. The key won't turn
(although after copious amounts of WD40 it does, finally, enter the

Harbor Freight this weekend, so I was thinking that the best way to
remove the lock would be to buy an angle grinder and the appropriate
cutoff wheels.


If you have a standard rotary "skill" saw, a $2 metal abrasive cutoff blade in
it will do the job. Or, at least try the dremel ith the appropriate abrasive
blade.
