Capt, the answer to your question about the O cutter. We had a building here on the base that was being taken down and all windows and doors on the #1 floor had bar on them. We where trying different ways to get in. Most of the we took with just a shedge hammer hitting the bolts that went into the wall and pulling them off. So we where using the tools we had to see which was faster to get in. This windo did not have any bolts and was built into the builing when the base opened over 100 years ago. The saw worked well but when you have over 30 or so windows and doors it is time to see what else might work. I try to think outside the box when it comes to training the troops. I have about 40 or so pics on the training and can send you some of the different ways we got into the building. Also got to teach the young guys how to use a K tool and pull locks and open and secure doors, duck bill lock breaker on high security locks, and forcing high security doors on the inside with and with out a rabbit tool. I just try to get the most out of training.
