Bolt cutters are much quieter, and still get the point across. Hell, when I see shit like that it makes me want to pop some locks just to prove a point. Like don’t even steal anything, just crack some shackles and leave Loss Prevention scratching their heads.
When I worked on the ambulance, we once needed after hours access to a small electric company park to land a helicopter (mountainous area, not many flat spaces). That was the night I learned that the fire department keeps a “universal key” (bolt cutters) on hand for just such an occasion.
Nah, if I want to use a grinder in a situation where it’s not a daily thing I need to have a permit to do that. It doesn’t achieve much, it’s just an insurance thing that says that they know what I’m doing and makes me aware to do things like make sure whatever I’ve worked on cools down safely.
The permit to do work in an electric cabinet without turning off the power used to also be called a hot work permit, mainly because it was the same from.
Now work near live power more than 24VDC is banned unless the power is keeping someone alive, or the person performing the work is a contractor.
What you call “hot work” we call “working live”. I don’t think that there’s a limit on what you can work on live, I think everyone or most isolate first.
My favorite is home depot locking up stuff but not locking up the bolt cutters
I think with the advent of cordless angle grinders, we’ve moved on from bolt cutters, haven’t we?
Certainly makes my visits to National Trust properties a lot more interesting

It’s less destructive than taking the gate down with the jaws of life.
But the power tools are locked up and make noise. Bolt cutters are silent and not locked up in store.
Useful on sites that require hot works permits also.
Is that some kind of porn studio?

To us hot work is work that creates heat.

Christ on a bike I’d fucking hate to live in an oppressive regime like that
Where are you, North Korea or somewhere like that?
U.K., it’s an insurance thing, I think.
