I'm locked out of my boat and have to cut the small pad lock off the

If I invest in a bolt cutter, will it be useful as emergency gear in
case of a dismasting or do I need a different tool to cut S.S. rigging
wire quickly?
Cut the hasp, they're generally a lot lighter duty than a
padlock. Dremel tools with fibre reinforced cut off wheels
will go through thin s.s. like butter.
It will have to be a pretty good bolt cutter to cut through
rigging wire 1/4" thick.
