Default Cutting padlocks

stuff snipped

You need the right cutoff wheel though - or about 2 dozen of the
wrong ones. You really need the fiber re-enforced ones.


And a face shield or at the very least, goggles. I assume the ones that
appear to have a window-screen like mesh pattern embedded in them are fiber
reinforced.

I've been recording "Storage Wars" on A&E all night, pausing to look at how
they cut locks. They even showed how easy it is to open a safe with an
angle grinder. Cut the hinges and crowbar the door out. The huge electric
jobs they use seem to open most locks within seconds.
