Declamper Man

Pkiernan

Now I have the following weapons against the filthy clampers at my disposal:

Lock Pick Gun


Pick Set


Padlock Shims


and a 42 inch bolt cutters - not yer girlie 12" Aldi tin openers


Bring on your clamps biateches!

CianRyan

Amazing, put all of your efforts into getting clamped.

Pkiernan

That;s the plan - may I borrow your car please?

CianRyan

No tax, insurance or NCT. Easy pickings for them anyway. :pac:

Gitb1

you must really like parking where you shouldnt

Pkiernan

I will be defending the poor downtrodden masses who get clamped - like the way Homer did when he became Pie Man.

Only Local Authority Clamps will be immune from my powers...

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

well, if i ever get clamped i'll post here for you so.

never happened yet , and probably wont happen unless im in the centra too long or some crap.

barura

You only need a bolt cutters to be honest.

Enjoy getting people in trouble though. Perhaps you should record when you do it so that you can take liability? I mean... Breaking something and leaving the blame for others is just not on at all.

Kenny Logins

Will you use them in that order? I'd start at the bottom TBH.

MagicMarker

A unique business opportunity if you ask me. Just charge people half what the actual clampers are asking to take off their clamps.

Why dont you just pay for parking?

Indricotherium

How do padlock shims work?

Pkiernan - create a new profile, call yourself Declamper Man, create a thread on same and get it stickied by mods. Anytime any of us get clamped we can post in your thread and then:

Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnn! Declamper Man will come to the rescue.

Are you sure bolt cutters will break the chain? I saw a guy cut off a clamp with a makita reciprocating saw....he went through 5 steel blades to cut the link twice....seriously tough steel!!

He should have used an angle grinder if he was going to use a power tool. Reciprocating saws wouldn't be really designed for that kind of work.

Protip: cut a link on the chain, not the lock.

You might want to be careful carrying these around in your car. It would give the guards further excuse to question you although I doubt that you'd be contravening the law; http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2001/en/act/pub/0050/sec0015.html#sec15

On older or cheaper locks they slide down along the shaft of the hasp on both sides and push the latches out.

Only the boltcutters are destructive - they are for if a clamper wrongly clamps me (in my own space for example).

Picking a clamp lock on private property shouldn't have any legal ramifications.
Need to get practicing with the picks though.

Where did you get the 42in bolt cutters?

Possibly going equipped for burglary (can't remember where I saw that, but there something about having lockpicking equipment if you are not in the industry). However if you are also a member of a locksmiths association...

...mmm......seems to say that you'd be in trouble if NOT at home.....so you could liberate your mgt co clamps, at your own residence, without any issue..... ?

I am not overly concerned. I have never been stopped by the Guards, and the tools above are not illegal.

Justice will prevail... :cool:

Keep us updated! I was thinking of buying an angle grinder and running it off the cigarette port... does such a thing exist? I recommend you hang about Bow Lane near Aungier Street, Dublin. Easy money!!

My uncle went to court for having a baseball bat in the car (it was a taxi shared with another driver). It was thrown out of court but he could have been prosecuted.

Thankfully. But it wasn't a nice experience especially when he didn't know what the "weapon" was until he got to the police station!

Wouldn't supply enough power. Unless for charging a cordless grinder maybe

I'm sure that if he'd had a Hurley instead, he would have been fine.
