These things are prevalent in my city. I need a reliable way to get them off without having to call someone and ask them to bring tools.

I thought about buying a cordless angle grinder with cutting disks but I don't want to have to use it someday and find out the battery is dead. Are there any angle grinders that you can plug in to a car socket?

Anyone have any other ideas?

Yes. And retarded for taking a boot off the car, when there is a log, paperwork that has your vehicle attached to that boot.

You went from a parking ticket to misdemeanors and possibly felonies for damaging government or state property.

When they come a road your car again e I the whip l e parked or pulled over they'll impound it until you pay all the fees.

You are retarded.

And good luck running a fucking angle grinder off 12 volts even with an inverter.

>> No.1276815

If you cut off the boot you'll still have to pay your tickets also you'll have to pay to replace the boot as well.

Also socket in car doesn't put out enough power to run anything bigger than a dremel tool.

Notice the numbers on that car boot? It's serialized and the city worker putting it on your car most definitely logs your vehicle information in association with the boot.
It's an easy request to the local DMV to find out who owned the vehicle and where they live.
From there it's only a matter of time before they got you for destruction of city property along with whatever they originally put it on for.

Then you will incru civil and criminal liability.

If you damage the boot upon removal, which they will claim either way, they can swear a warrant for your arrest. The local sheriff will serve it, arrests you, where you will go to jail and have to bond out on "criminal trespass", "Property damage in xxx amount" and so forth.

It's a headache.

Second they can take you to civil court and sue for damages, where the preponderance of evidence is all it takes for you to lose and them to win.

It's easier for the private company to get you then the state.

You are a fucking dolt.

The private company has limited funds. Their equipment is their livelihood. The state uses tax payers money, and must follow laws different to the corporation.

c) once the lock is off and you get the cover plate open you'll need a special socket to remove the boot

OP is technically are not retarded since I tested my yard sale Ryobi with a car battery and it works fine, for a shite Ryobi. Worth the three dollars I paid for it to see if it would work.

You can and I do use a plug-in inverter in my trucks to charge cordless tool batteries. My inverter doesn't have the balls to run corded tools direct but a larger inverter certainly could.

I take my 28V Milwaukee grinder, recip saw and impact wrench with me on salvage yard runs. Unfortunately a 4 1/2" cutting disk is too small for that sort of work but I run 6" cutting disks on my 4 1/2" Milwaukee after modding the guard. (I cut a larger guard made for another grinder to fit.) Cut gently because you can overload the grinder. Let the disc float on the work, don't ram it.

A 6" disk would cut through the boot pictured easily but you might need a second battery. Always keep extra disks as they shrink in diameter as they wear.

You could torch cut using a portable torch and small acetylene or propane and oxygen cylinders. I do that too because on salvage runs I know my approximate length of cut. Torches go where angle grinders may not fit and work great for cutting rear axle U-bolts.

Medical oxygen cylinder adapters to fit standard torch regulators exist at least for US standard cylinders and regulators.. Pic is my portable cutting rig. (I'd use smaller regulators but I got a pile of 450 series Victors at auction and rebuilt them.) I have standard industrial oxygen cylinders too but the medical cylinders were free so I use them too.

Propane is safer to handle than acetylene and cheap. You could use a single disposable LP cylinder instead of the BBQ jug by making a full-flow adapter. I did but it's buried in my shop ATM so no pics.

>> No.1277085

>>1277082
continued.

I zoomed OPs pic and note it uses a padlock. That would be easy meat for a 4 1/2" grinder IF you can get a clear shot at the lock shackle with the disc. Pictured boot has plenty of room.

No damage to that style boot but the lock is fucked of course.

Otherwise cutting the hinged bar where the boot wheel shield protects your wheel would do the job.

You too could be a hero:

>They can't legally touch your vehicle.

Oh yes, they can. If you park in a private parking lot they often times will have a local tow place under contract to remove illegally parked cars. If you are in a private lot you done fucked up. If I parked my car in your driveway do you really think you wouldn't be able to move it because its 'illegal' to touch my vehicle? Just because it is a company lot does not mean the same rules don't apply. It is still 'private' land.

Depending on the laws where you live determines how the thing plays out. Where I live, as long as the car is not fully hooked up to a tow truck I can get my vehicle back without any fine. If it is fully hooked up and they are about to drive off I can get the vehicle back but I have to pay a 'drop fee'. If they are driving off I have to get that shit from their lot.

Same deal with boots. Where I am at they will send out a guy with a boot if the tow truck is busy. It is basically a scare tactic as I can just tell them to get it off. Lots of people don't know that, though. If no one is around and it is a private boot, where I live at least, I can remove it without a problem. If it is a government boot I can not. YMMV so get informed about your state/county/muni laws.

Honestly, I wouldn't discard the cordless angle grinder idea. A car socket wouldn't be able to run an angle grinder, but it would have no problem charging the battery while you're driving around. Just make sure you plug in the battery briefly every now and then to keep it charged up. Worst case you forget and have to idle your car for a bit to charge up the battery when you need the grinder

Live in an HOA gated development, 500 homes.
No cars allowed on the street midnight to 6am.
No exceptions, ever.
Every home has a 3 car garage and can fit 6 cars in the driveway.
Every night at midnight on the dot tow truck company on contract rolls in, usually three trucks.
Each truck can tow one car and hold another on it's deck.
Guys use helpers to attach chains and position dollies, guys are fast.
After loading up, they boot everyone else.
Every night at least a dozen cars are removed or locked down.
They take pictures/video of everything.
Our security accompanies them, the call the police and give them a heads up.
Tow yard is 29 miles from where we live.
If towed after 6pm Friday you are stuck until Monday.
You have about an hour to get the boot removed and not get towed.
Un-booting is $150, the tow, storage, taxes and HOA fee/fine, is $450 to 500.
12 cars every night, weekends is always more, it's crazy.
HOA gets half the boot fee.
Had a guy cut off a boot, HOA got him on camera.
Tow company sued, HOA fined the home owner, your responsible for guests, until the boot was payed for, home owner only paid when the HOA put a lean on his house and started foreclosure on him.
Company clamied $3500 for the destroyed boot and loss of income from it being gone.
To change the HOA rules you need 90% of the home owners to agree to a rule change and they must be physically present at the meeting to do it.
Never going to happen.
Too many old folks who love coming out and watching people scream and cry about booting or towing.

Good approach, but how does this teach the booters a lesson?

My trick is to keep a tube of 5 minute epoxy in the car. Get booted, hop in the car and bust open the syringe, kneel down and give a tiny squirt into the lock mechanism. Wait a few minutes to ensure nothing is dripping out, then call and pay the fine. They come back and can't get the lock off, need to cut it themselves.
Then I take them to small claims court.

Have three outstanding cases upcoming in 2018; I hope I don't get the same judge.

BTW fuck all you actual bootlickers in this thread.

A friend of mine got his car booted while we were at the movies. He happened to have a set of these things in his car and the boot happened to be on the wrong end of the vehicle. He jacked up the car and put the dollies under the tires. The ones he had were casters and smaller than these. So, we drifted around every turn.

Anyway, that morning the cops show up at his house to arrest him, but the boot was still on the car so they didn't arrest him. He paid a fine for whatever the parking fine was and they took the boot off.

He can tell the story much better than I can, especially the drifting part.

> Called repo services.

This isn’t a case of repossession, OP never signed a contract taking out a loan with the parking lot company, they can’t just go off on a razzia and steal his property even if they have proof that he destroyed their wheel boot.

All they can do is file a court claim against him and unless they have a photo of OP’s car in their parking lot with their wheel boot on it, (simply writing down his license plate number ain’t enough) they’ve got nothing as he can just claim there was never a boot on his car.

Depends if the services are private or municipal. Here it's a joint venture so you're fucked. And if you have outstanding tickets during plate and license renewal ur fucked as well. Contested or not you are guilty until proven innocent in parking bullshit when filed to some government.

Also why do people assume parking enforcers don't have a fucking camera/cell phone? Most parking schemes are all electronic and controlled.

So no I don't buy your bullshit about how they can't steal your property over this shit. And yes the parking bill has gone to repo companies in the past but those are rare cases. Usually the popò provide free repo services.

If the property doesn't get claimed the cops get to auction it. I dare you to tell me that isn't theft.

You are simply wrong, a private parking lot / garage can NOT seize your car or any of your property, either for unpaid parking fees or for destroying their wheel boot.

They can only file a legal claim against you. This is what the COURT SYSTEM is for.

They can _tow_ your car off their property to a storage lot and force you to pay the parking fees/fine to get it back (and auction off your vehicle after X amount of time if you never pay the bill) but they can’t hunt you down and steal your car off your own private property for any reason.

Now a municipal (i.e. government owned) lot/garage can conceivably seize your vehicle, (though they wouldn’t bother, they’ll just bill your property taxes for the fees) as this would legally be considered a “lien” on your property by the government but a private parking company can NOT do that.

Why do you feel the need to make so much noise? The boot itself looks intimidating, but it's literally only held on by a single lock. Bolt cut the lock and take the boot off. Then take the boot with you and throw it away. Then it's just your word against theirs.

Nice shitpost!

Personally, I generally keep a Milwaukee M18 angle grinder and at least one battery in my truck. It's not for boots, though, because I am not a nigger. I do a lot of offroading all over the western half of the United States, which means very frequently I find myself on Forest Service, BLM, or even private roads in the middle of nowhere. I NEVER, absolutely NEVER, plan on cutting a lock or chain because that sort of niggery is what gets trails permanently blocked off and makes normies hate off-roaders. However, I live in constant worry that one of two things will happen: Either I'll go through a gate/road just before a ranger closes it for the season (trails in the Sierras, and some other areas, are often closed seasonally or even for years at a time) and meet up with a locked gate on my way home, or I'll do a long trip only to meet with a locked gate at the other end. In that case, doubling back would either be unfeasible (especially because offroading is much harder and more dangerous after sundown) or impossible in the rare case that I went down a hill I couldn't get back up.

Although I've never used it this way, other /out/ists sometimes use them to 'open' barred entries to caves and abandoned factories/mines.

On car batteries, they call it 'cold cranking amps' because you don't really care about your battery as long as it puts out enough amps to start your car.

On lithium cells they refer to it by 1C, 2C, 3C, etc, it's the ratio of maximal discharge current in multiples of nominal capacity, and how long it can sustain that discharge rate without suffering damage.

1C for an 1.8Ah Lithium Ion battery would be 1.8A. 1C is equal to the current you need to discharge in 1 hour nominally. For a lipo pack for a high speed RC plane, you get like 30 or 45C. And sometimes they'll advertise like '80C boost' or something. So that means your 1.8Ah 30C battery can dump 32 amps, which will drain its charge in 3.4 minutes.

I get what you mean, but I still think that a standard car battery would be able to output enough current for long enough to get a significant way through the lock.

I fucking did and my test Ryobi was indeed useful for light loads. I've used angle grinders for many years and repaired a fleet of them when I ran a tool room. I own corded, cordless and pneumatic angle and die grinders. I know whereof I speak.

It would certainly cut a lock shackle, but a Dremel will cut a lock shackle if you use the fiber-reinforced discs and take your time. I cut the rusted cab bolts off an F250 with a Dremel and they are as thick as padlock shackles.

The real solution is buy the right fucking grinder in the first place. Knowing what NOT to /diy/ is the most important part of /diy/ if you have actual work to do.

If you insist on being a nigger it depends on your local laws. Because of the way mine are worded (you pay for the removal of the boot) you can legally do it as long as you do not damage the boot in the process of removal (pick it) and somehow get the boot back to the booting company or else it is considered theft. That's all in theory though.

Only if they can prove that you removed the boot. It doesn’t matter that they have a log connecting your car with that boot. You never saw a boot, don’t know anything about it. Meanwhile, they don’t have a damaged boot to enter into evidence because whoever removed the boot from your car must have dropped it off of a bridge. Or maybe tossed it into one of those streetcorner burn barrels that bums gather around to stay warm.

Ok how about this:

We live in a free capitalist economy right ?
So we need a new law and a new service.

The new law is:
A boot which prevents the wheel from being removed is illegal to use. Once the wheel is removed the boot can be easily removed.

The new service is:
A company that will stop by and change your wheel for $35, much cheaper than the $150 boot fee.

The company or individual leaves the boot lying in the parking spot for the business owner/ city to collect .

This is more than enough deterrence for illegal parking and will not result in these excessive bills to get out of the mess.

Nothing can totally prevent it from being towed, only can make it annoying to tow, if they’re protected from damage liability on an illegally parked vehicle then theirs a way to move it... even with the tires off you just get a rollback with a big ass winch and drag it up on the bed, scraped the shit out of it but hey your not liable...

My step brother used to have a big 4x4 Ford with a lot of lift and giant mud tires, if he had to park it somewhere crappy he’d put it in 4wd mode in gear on low and then lock the doors, in Ohio they can’t open the doors and get in the cab, it had enough contact with the ground that the only reasonable way to move it would be to either break in and take it out of gear, or disconnect a drive shaft, which could be done but would take time.. so he figured he was good for at least an hour before they’d be able to take the truck... worked well till he pissed off one towing company by parking in the same place too often and they brought 4 of those dollies that go under tires... he took it in stride, made for a funny story though

>prevent it from being towed

Laws can prevent businesses open to the public from recklessly towing vehicles. The city can usually use tickets as a deterrent, rather than expensive booting or towing.

Also with all this new smart phone technology they could make it a law they have to attempt to contact you and give you time to move the car for a first offense, unless it's some emergency situation.

A lot of parking incidents are devoid of any real criminal intent or purely accidental, so getting stuck with a $400 towing bill could be deemed excessive force in many cases.

Friction is a bitch. OPs bro educated the towing company to buy dollies which they should have had anyway. A properly equipped rollback will have dollies and skates.

Skates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl8_Z15GEDU

Winching anything onto a rollback is a hassle if the tires won't roll, hence skates. If it was a scrap pickup they'd just do it anyway and beat the shit out of the vehicle. You can pick vehicles with no wheels that way.
