The hooded thief used the cordless power tool in broad daylight.
Witnesses watched on as sparks flew from the metal lock which was easily sliced open.

The man – also clad in a tartan shacket and dark gilet – stumbled as the racer bicycle fell on the ground.
But he picked it up and rode off down the road on it while putting the angle grinder in his green rucksack.
The shameless theft took place in Redchurch Street, in Shoreditch, east London yesterday (2 Apr) morning.
An onlooker filmed the shocking crime on their mobile phone in a 14 second video.
Pedestrians were seen walking by, as reported on Need To Know.
Cordless angles grinders are available to buy from as little as £75.
Local Alistair Burton, 55, said: “Legal access to cordless angle grinders should be harder to achieve than holding a licensed firearm.”
Andrew Gorman fumed: “Surely the CCTV could track him.
“Why hasn’t gone for a more expensive bike if you’re going to go to the effort with an ankle grinder.”
Another joked: “Man came prepared.”
One former Army veteran said: “No f*cks given.”
Maurice added: “A person stood there and videoed it.
“But couldn’t make a phone call.”
The Met Police has been approached for comment.
