    Default Need to borrow bolt cutters

    Not quite yet but I may have to borrow some soon. I just want to find out if anyone has some that could help me out.

    I got home from work today and there is a new lockbox on my front door. My condo building was build in the 1800's and doesn't have traditional front doors and when you go to close the door the lockbox gets in the way. The realtor who threw this on there must have been a huge idiot. I sent a e-mail to the tenant that I think is responsible but if it is not off by Thursday I plan to cut it off myself.

    If you have some bolt cutters that you could let me borrow and are in the denver area please let me know. I would drive to you and if you need me to leave something as collateral.

    Thanks

    I have some you can use. They're not huge, but should work. Shoot me a pm.

    FWIW, I helped a neighbor who's agent left one on his door. 24" cutters. The guy was 6'10" and 300lbs and barely got it.

    I'd recommend and angle grinder (which I have if you need)

    I tried to use a 24" pair of cutters on a U-lock before (college roommate lost his key, school security thought we were lying... Which is understandable). It took forever, but it eventually worked. I think we bent the handles.

    We used a grown up sized set on the next one, and it was a breeze. So buy the big ones, or a battery powered dremel with a cut-off wheel.

    ^^^This. Way faster and easier. But the 590a1 suggestion sounds like much more fun.
