Sroll to 16mins in..

Everyone knows the Hatton Garden robbers used a rig mounted Hilti DD500, but they went on youtube for tips on how to use it! Once they'd cored through they gave up and went home as they couldn't get through the metal back of the deposit boxes so they returned the next day with a hydraulic ram.
 
they dd500 only pulls about 15 amps
 
The old age pensioners that did the job were sloppy, they had to go back the following night to finish the job. lol
