I thought JohnB posted a link showing someone cutting into a hollow box it was claimed to be made of this metal. If so, it is only of increased resistance and quickly destroys the cutting disk. They would just ave to go armed with a stack of replacement disks as well as the angle grinder. And probably a replacement battery or two. |

It will not be cut. Wrinkled maybe, You need shears to cut it. Bolt cutters are good for cutting bolts, steel rod, etc. Not so good on your hands. |

Bolt cutters with, say, 30 inch handles - RTDGID S30 - will cut some fairly thick cables :-) IME, bolt cutters do well with bolts and I've used some that are as heavy as a bicycle. They can also 'launch' any loose section of bolt like a projectile. However, the results on cable vary greatly as there is a tendency to separate into distinct wires or mini-cables with only some of the wires just be crushed. OTOH, I've never been mad enough to attempt cutting any cable under high tension. IMO, an angle grinder would be a better way. As to 'bicycle locks' I'm wondering exactly what they are talking about. Is it the 'lock' part, aka 'brass' section, or as your implying the 'cable' Then there s also the question of the intelligence of the bicycle thief who sometimes t s quicker to cut off/up the item it is locked to. I also remember an expensive 'unpickable' bicycle lock (krypyonite?) that could be open by the end of a Bic biro n much the same manner as thse automated lock picks work cylinder locks. |

It needn't be a long moment of foolishness. Hard to think of any other compelling reason.-- AJ |
