a local value city store closed i worked part time helping with the
fixture liquidation.

the employees lockers were a big hassle, many left them with padlocks
on.

padlock quality must of improved, i managed to dull and ruin 3 bolt
cutters.........

so that problem is left for the new tenants, who will likely give the
poor condition lockers to a scrap guy.

the boss decided it wasnt worth any more time and money, and didnt
want the lockers any more damaged than they were

A Dremel, Roto-Zip, or small die grinder with an abrasive cutoff wheel cuts them
very easily and quickly.

you may be able to run a Dremel from an inverter plugged into your car's
12V.(battery powered Dremels are pretty weak)

I bought a Ryobi 18 volt "roto-zip" type tool a couple of years ago.
Not very expensive, lots more power, and it uses all the dremel
attachments I had collected over the years. I get a lot of use out of
it, and for most jobs, the size and weight compared to the old dremel
is not a problem. It doesn't stall out when loaded, either. Uses the
same universal (One +) 18 volt batteries that all of their other tools
use.

This one:
