I guess if people are interested and if you don't mind posting me the shackle from your D-lock, I could do a comparative cut-test to get an idea how long it takes to cut the shackle (again) on that Kryptonite lock versus some others, such as the Squire Hammerhead. We have cordless and mains-powered angle grinders and I could give some timings if people think that is useful??
I am not sure if this is really useful, and am concerned about giving thieves information. Nothing is truly likely to stop a grinder with the right kind of disc, if it is being used properly. Re the latter, whoever was using the grinder in the other photo, with no face/eye/anything protection, was taking a b-i-g risk. We always use a full-face visor, leather gauntlets and a leather apron. The cordless grinders are weedy in comparison with the mains ones but even they can cause a bad injury if the disc shatters etc.
