Faulty Memories?
I woke up in the middle of the night remembering that I had left my Douglas out on the side of the house because the wind was too strong to go riding yesterday after I had gotten ready to go for a ride. 25 mph ground level winds with stronger gusts hardly makes one want to go riding along side of heavy traffic going 45+ mph.
The side of the house is behind a gate with a master lock on it so it isn't as if there was any serious danger of it being stolen. But worse things have occurred. Four houses in a three block area here have just been sold by people moving to Republican states where they can earn and keep their money. These houses have ended up in the hands of who knows who since they are rented out to illegal aliens. The City of San Leandro hiring illegal aliens. I suppose to prove how woke they are. But it is going to blow up in their faces then the government shifts and CBP shows up and pulls these people off of their jobs and sends them straight back to where they came from. Frank and Jay disapprove of America for Americans under their own definitions of what is happening. Anyone is welcome as long as they go through the entry system and under the Democrats there is no system and the illegals that have been here for a decade are now losing their jobs to the new illegals and they are beginning to see the problems. You can even here them supporting the ideas of the Republicans inside of Mexican markets. |

I suggest you watch a few YouTube videos on whatever model Master lock you are using: https://www.youtube.com/c/lockpickinglawyer/search?query=master https://www.youtube.com/c/bosnianbill/search?query=master Incidentally, I just noticed that the Emonda you allegedly sold to someone from San Francisco at asking price is listed on eBay as "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available" instead of the usual sold tag. There's no feedback from the alleged buyer and no expiration date on the original listing. Did you really sell it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/294106726321?orig_cvip=true Your Colnago CLX3.0 is still available: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294133828584 Sorry about the change of topic, but I'm still feeling a little down from the vaccination side effects and thought that giving you some more attention might improve my disposition. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Tommy boy, as the old folks used to say, "You have gone right 'round the bend". Frank is talking about a locked shed and you are going on about "breaking and entering is a reason for self defense and beating someone to death". -- Cheers, John B. |

It's almost like stuff on YouTube can't be trusted! I've been doing various forms of locksport: http://lockwiki.com/index.php/Locksport erratically for most of my life. I'm not very good at it, but am getting better. When the lockdown started last year, I began spending more time at home, which gave me an excuse to practice some more. It takes time to assemble the necessary tools and get the feel for how SPP (single pin picking) is done. I'm not that interested in bypass, raking, bumping, jiggling, comb keys, etc. If you want to open the lock with minimum effort, look into those, especially raking. https://www.google.com/search?q=lock+rakes&tbm=isch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFEa_j3D97E (2:44) I've had some luck beating on a Master Lock with one or two hammers. The lock mechanism uses spring loaded levers instead of the far more secure ball bearings: http://www.1st-in-padlocks.com/images/magnum_comparison.jpg Beating on one or both sides with a (plastic) hammer uses inertia to compress the lever springs and release the shackle. The problem is that if you hit the lock exactly the same time with both hammers, nothing happens. You have to hit one side slightly before the other side to get both levers to move toward the center of the lock. Just moving one hammer a little farther away than the other hammer is good enough. (I cut the shackle with a Dremel.) It's usually easier and cheaper to cut the door shed hasp than the lock shackle. The better padlocks are worth far more than the door hasp. However, if you must cut, an angle grinder with a narrow cutoff disk is probably the easiest but noisiest. -- Jeff Liebermann PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

My "dremel" is actually a Black & Decker clone. I found that its power transformer outputs DC voltage in the range of 12V (plus or minus), so for portable use I long ago rigged up a plug to power the tool from a surplus motorcycle battery I happen to have. That worked well enough for this task. The biggest frustration was breaking then replacing a couple of the fragile Dremel abrasive disks. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I thought rapping might be both inconspicuous and fast, but I couldn't make it work. Do you recall the Master Lock model number? It will be on the bottom plate. If it was a model that uses a dual ball bearing locking mechanism, beating on it with a hammer will not work. Or, see if any of these videos might have helped: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rapping+master+lock I have a 120V angle grinder, but the woman's shed was probably 100 feet from any outlet.

That worked well enough for this task. The cordless Dremel hand tools are also 12VDC. Good idea, but I'm lazy. I have a wooden box with a 12V 35AH(?) AGM battery, 117VAC charger, 117VAC inverter, and various useful chargers. I keep wanting to make or buy a LiIon replacement, but have never found an excuse to spend the money. Maybe when the battery finally dies. The inverter should run my 117VAC Dremel tools quite nicely. Incidentally, most of my various gadgets (modem, router/wi-fi, ethernet switch, Roku, media server, phone chargers, LiIon cell chargers, small light, etc are running from an 11.1V LiIon battery pack. If the power goes out, most everything stays up and running. No UPS needed. I might use it (or a copy) as the basis for a replacement Dremel power supply. Yet another project. The biggest frustration was breaking then replacing a couple of the fragile Dremel abrasive disks. I know the feeling. It doesn't take much to break the little Dremel cutting disk. But, the narrow kerf cut makes a few broken disks worthwhile.
