Cut off wheel is definitely the term I was thinking of. The last time I encountered a u-lock that failed locked, I used a fiberglass reinforced abrasive cut-off wheel, actually in a battery operated drill, and was able to grind my way through a 1/2" shank of steel fairly nicely. I'm attaching a picture of a wheel similar to what I used. I also had an arbor that I used to interface with the drill. It is probably important that the wheel grind, not cut.

He lost the key, which is common for him. I have a bolt cutter that only slightly nicked the lock. I have a dremmal with a cut-off wheel. In a few seconds the teeth were removed from the cutter. Any suggestions on how to remove this lock? --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_p age&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
