    Get a crow bar!! That handle is only for the cover of it, that safe is only 4mm thick max. Wedge crowbar into side....force it open...!!

    I have repeated this several times to myself, out loud mind you, trying to recite it as if there were commas here and there, I have absolutely no idea what this sentence translates to.

    I would hazzard a guess that the Gentleman was suggesting that one should attempt to utilise a stihl saw, while simultaneously running a hose to supply a liquid coolant ( presumably water, though not explicitly specified ), and to commence cutting (with aforementioned saw) in order to remedy the particular conundrum that the OP finds themselves in.

    Serious?
    Stihl is a manufacturer, of cutting tools and other equipment,
    Hose is presumably coolant for steel cutting
    cutting is cutting

    Op, make sure you let us know what is in it if you find out! :P Have to know! Wish I found a safe :(:(

    If its money (or preferably really weird porn like already mentioned) make sure you share it ;)

    On a serious note, could be an old gun safe??

    People didn't put guns in safes way back..

    It wasnt law or near justified..

    Some people still dont have too.

    A hose is a hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one place to another;)

    Indeed it is, the poster no.55, calling poster no.55

    I believe they said "run the hose"

    I was replying to the other poster that poster 55, meant run the cutting fluids (through the hose)
    for the purpose of cooling.

    Incased in concrete and a floor safe are and were a common thing in 60/70's dwellings.

    It was a common thing with barristers/judges and medical professionals..

    I've seen it countless times. Countless times now that I think of it..

    Im only assuming its old but it doesn't sound out of the ordinary.

    A gun safe wouldnt take too kindly or be bothered setting in concrete.


    OP if you can get us a pic I may be able to help you. Boss and I have opened a few in our time :pac::pac:

    6 fecking pages and I couldnt bother me hole :pac::pac:

    Thats more of a file press then anything..

    I wouldnt be holding my breath for an ol aya no4 or a purdey but you maybe find a nice wee snub nose 38 :P:P


    Buy a 63mm or so holesaw and drill just next to the locking mechanism..

    Get something like a 4or5mm bit first and figure out how deep it is..

    Floor safes usually have great protection on the top, but not so great protection at the sides. Just saying.

    the 6 inches of concrete floor and mortar possible underlying services and foundation are laughing at you..

    That's it exactly. I know it from a shop I worked in. You're not going to get the safe out without digging up the floor. Best to work at the lid with an angle grinder.

    Is it open yet? (I know half-four might not be the optimum time for cracking out the power tools but....)

    Actually I'd suggest taking the slow, more refined approach. Start teaching yourself lockpicking from youtube videos and tools purchased over the internet (or make your own). See if you can find yourself an identical safe to practise on. Sticky the thread and keep us posted on your progress.
