A basic Dremel with fiber cutoff wheel should do the trick as well. Reasonable price and usefull
around the house in the future.

It takes a minute or so to cut through an M5 bolt with a Dremel. You can't seriously be suggesting
using one to cut through a hardened steel lock shackle, can you?

Of course he's serious, he just either didn't understand the situation, or didn't think it through
before his answer, which was daft, but no joke, IMNSHO.

You'd go through lots of dremel wheels by the time the job was done, too.

Shaun aRe - I reckon you should use an axe.

Shaun aRe - big chopper.

the dremel would be good for getting my initals into the stupid thing.

We used a carbide bladed reciprocating saw and it took 5-10 minutes to cut through the dang thing.

You should've listened to Chequer and got an angle grinder, although I can see why you would have
ignored his advice; He can get fanatical about his grinder. I had to draw the line the time he
wanted to use it to remove a pair of worn out cleats from my shoes whilst I was still wearing them.

damn kids.

Today is *the* day.. take the bike out YAY drying out warming up... Hubby keeps them chained up all
winter in a huge mess of cables and locks to a big support pole in the garage. About an hour before
my ride, I go out to get the key off it's hidden hook and its.....gone...[censored]... I dump out the
kids gear bucket thinking that the key has fallen amidst the roller blades and elbow pads but it's
not to be found. Now, there is another key but it lives on his key ring which was at his office
with him, naturally. So no ride.

Rats. There's always tomorrow.

Penny

Brutal...you will survive...always keep a spare key ... hidden somewhere. That'll learn ya!
