What do you need to cut a hardened steel Master Lock?

Question

I know you need bolt cutters, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need specifically. For example what brand and model i'd need and how strong the cutters need to be. I'm also looking for the cheapest selection possible. thanks!

Answer 1

you can cut it with a circular saw with a metal cutting blade. a reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade will work also. either blade can be found at a hardware store and are inexpensive.

Answer 2

  Get a hacksaw with a tungsten carbide blade and pour watter as you cut so as to keep the temperature generated by friction down.

Answer 3

It's either bolt cutters or a special saw if it's a real expensive lock like the ones that are round. Home depot has both.
