What is the quietest way to cut or break one link on a metal chain? I need to work at night and I don't want to wake anyone up
>>
>help me break in /diy/
>>
>>2714441
Personally, I just put the chain in the crook of my elbow and flex my massive biceps which rips even the most sturdy chain into pieces. However, always remember to wear safety glasses since the subsequent explosion is of a such high power that you could get molten metal in your eyes
>>
>>2714441
Bolt cutters. The loudest part of that will be when the broken chain falls.

How loud is thermite?
>>
>>2714449
Thermite can be very loud depending on noise pollution/amount of thermite. A small amount shouldn't make any more than 40db.

unrelated but whats the quietest way to break a pane of glass
>>
>>2714441
Put the chain in a vacuum. The lack of particles in the vacuum doesn't allow for vibration or sound to be heard.

You can also try freezing it to the point it just shatters. Put into some cryo chamber and remove when frozen. Break. ???? Profit.
>>
>>2714584
Depending on the glass, it’s really not loud when you shatter glass with some pointy thing like a rescue tool or whatever. It’s just a small tap, but then you would have to grab the larger pieces out before they all come crashing down.

Take her to space. You can yell as loud as you want, but no one can hear you because there no particles for the vibrations to bounce off. Also, space is pretty vast and usually empty. Just watch out for the Hubble. Those are some nosy motherfuckers.
>>
Put the chain in an anechoic chamber. Use a microphone to record the sound, then use speakers to give the opposite wavelengths to cancel out the noise.

I simply whip out my dick and smash the chain with it. The size of my cock muffles the sound and the chain is nothing but powdered metal afterwards so makes no noise when falling to the ground. You'd best wear a face mask if you choose to do this though as breathing metal dust is not recomended.

Use a roll of contact paper to the glass before you break it. No muss, no fuss.

A small cordless abrasive cutoff tool (bring extra discs) would work a treat.
Ryobi are surprisingly decent (my bro prefers his to his Milwaukee).

They are not silent but many are not loud and tend quieter than large angle grinders. Want really quiet but you will never buy it? A portable oxy-acetylene cutting torch.

I bring mine to shorten heavy steel items to fit my trailer so your chain will be no problem. Practice turning the acetylene on low so it lights quietly then add oxygen.
You will never buy it.

Bolt cutters can be awkward but don't make much noise. Quiet alternative is buy matching lock, good pics etc and learn to pick it but you will never do it.

No, he’s going to steal them. What kind of consumer do you think asks about how to quietly break chains and glass?

Thermite tends to weld hence its use on railroad rail for that purpose.
>>
>>2717449
Thieves cannot always steal the tools they want, for example stealing acetylene is unlikely unless you hit a shop and that's yet another burglary.

Needs power though. Hobart briefly made a battery-powered MIG which could be used with a carbon arc torch but either method is bright as fuck.

>Ryobi are surprisingly decent (my bro prefers his to his Milwaukee).

I do a lot of my 5 finger discount purchases with a Milwaukee cordless and a cut off wheel. Protip: Use a spray bottle of water to prevent a shower of sparks, the noise is bad enough, when wet, they cut just as quick and less sparks equal less attention.

Happy shopping!
