Garage break-ins??
Fed up with drug snorting chav scum pinching your toys and tools?
I spent rather a while last night fitting the second one of these to the other side of the garage floor, the first one was fitted when I poured the
floor but was awkward there being only one and the garage being 6m wide... Unfortunately here the concrete was 8 inches thick!  but a combination of
the still saw and hammer drill finally got through, mind though the units 12 inches high so the concrete plug is actually under the floor too...that
ain't going anywhere 
I'm doing some further welding mods to it to make it really awful to try and get through 
The chain is mad btw as is the lock, which is fine as I don't need to take it out the garage, a case of forget the bolt cutters bring some semtex
I love these things as you can then chain the welder, saws, drill to it too. Well worth the money and the few hours hard labour to fit it
I can highly recommend fitting one

Mr Whippy -
Just make sure you dont leave the angle grinder and cutting discs next to it ......
It didnt take long for them to cut mine with all the tools I'd thoughtfully left laying around (they cut the 12mm dia hasp off the padlock).
People are so used to hearing the tools in use no one took any notice of the angle grinder in the middle of the working day!
Regards
Hugh

Chris_R fitted something very similar to this to his lockup.
When it was concreted in it was flush to the floor, so you couldn't trip over it.
A decent welder might even be able to knock up a similar version at home, with some spare scrap from a chassis?

It’s a good point but the garage power is switched off from the house during the day and night when I'm not there. I fitted a switch especially
on the wall for this purpose
the petrol still saw is kept in back of the house

on this subject i can get prett erll anything from www.bulldogsecure.com for cost +5% all bar special order items.
If anyone is interested in any of their anti ram stuff or ground anchors, garage door locks etc let me know which products you are after and i will
price it up for you, i can do carriage at cost too.
They are great products but they aint cheap, you get what you pay for in that game.
I can only offer this as i work next door to them and they owe us lots of favours!
BTW before my post gets pulled because im not a trader I AM OFFERING A SERVICE WITH NO PROFIT FOR ME!
Just trying to do my bit to help those hard grafting members on here keep their toys/tools safe in their own garage.

I guess the problem with chaining stuff to those anchors is that the chain and lock are the weak point. Wouldnt another solution be to cast a
reinforced concrete tool store bunker into the back of the garage? I keep most of my power tools in the loft but its very inconvenient, and of course
some things are harder to put up there.
