Best way to cut a big lock???

I think I paid $500 for a 1.2 MB floppy drive for my first computer - in the early 80s. $500 was a lot of money then. I know I paid $800 for my first dot matrix printer (still got it).

So anyway. What's the best way to cut this thing? I'm thinking an angle grinder with a cutting disc? yes?

Yeah those old printers are fantastic...









... for holding doors open on windy days
... for weighting crab pots
... for throwing at people who wake you up on a weekend morning to convert you to a religion of their choice.

I bought a lock and chain from USA via Europe and it is ranked
"6 hours Plasma Cutter, cvannot be drilled"
Used it to secure many things including Industrial shed door, no-one has scratched it.
Don't have a use for it now but man, did it serve it's purpose!

can of compressed air, held upside down and sprayed at the lock and then hit with a hammer.... haven't tired it, but looks like it works, maybe not on large locks though !

Ahhh - Victoria - Welcome to the fossil state

Semi-automatic move a 'no-brainer': Mullet - National - theage.com.au


Our cops have .38 Smith & Wesson revolvers. And they remember what to do with them.:cool:

This is slightly off topic but.......

The NSW and Victorian cops are having a briefing prior to a search warrant on the boarder. At the end of the briefing the boss says to the Vic's, "Righto, if you blokes promise not to shoot anyone, we'll promise not to steal anything":D I think that was a joke:angel:

The .38's have been out of NSW since about 1997...but it took two young blokes up the coast to get killed to make the move. Chrisitne Nixon is a GOOSE!!
