TripleG asked:

Hello,

I have one of these locks (below) on my back gate and I barely have a small space to use boltcutters whats the best way to break it? Will a hammer break it? Will these boltcutters work?

    I wouldn’t use a hammer, that would probably break your gate first. Those locks are a pain in the ***. Have a torch? If not, try some bolt cutters. The ones shown would probably work.

    a disc grinder would work great. Maybe a rotary tool with a grinding wheel.
