Best way to cut off a bike lock?

I lost the key to my master bike lock and need to cut it off, it's the kind with the coiled steel cable. would bolt cutters work on the coiled steel? Or, do I need to get power tools involved?

call your local policeman, he'll help

Bolt cutters will definatly work you may be able to use some snips as well they are cheaper

Bolt cutter - there should be an adjustment on the bolt cutter
adjust it tight bite - it should cut right through it

You can also use something like a dremel, rotozip, or an angle grinder...You'll get more sparks and have more fun.

Bolt croppers, do the job.

Bolt cutter or hack saw.

GOD
