Just curious, do you know which drill Cycling Plus used that was 12,000rpm? Sounds like they used an angle grinder to me.....not a drill.

Which brings me to my point yet again...."mmm yeah"....it'll take you 30 minutes to cut through a Evolution level lock with a cordless drill and a cutting disc.

He would've had better luck if he used a strong drill bit to drill out the lock cylinder trying to get the pins out instead.
It doesn't specify which one all it says is "we used a quality battery drill rated to 12,000rpm with a 30 minute battery life on max output."

PM and if you like I'll send you a copy of it.
