I have been giving all this a far bit of thought since a previous thread about gun safe keys was posted. Battery tools make it easier to break into sheds etc in the first place and once in, yes any mains powered tools can be used. what I am thinking is that thick wood stops grinders because they don't have enough cut depth and even a 9" grinder with a skill saw blade (if you could hold it) wouldn't cut through a 5" (125mm) Oregon slab. A petrol demolition cut off saw is too big. A chainsaw can be stopped too with nails driven from the inside and Ramset nails will stop a Tungsten tipped circular blade. So should we be making safes out of 125mm thick timber or making a timber outer safe for our steel safe ?. A timber safe also has the advantage that it doesn't cool to the dew point like a steel one and so doesn't condense moisture like a steel jobby. The only one I can't figure out how to stop is a big powerful reciprocating saw if the crims can drill a hole to start it. Any ideas ??
