Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

A File, hacksaw blade (full or broken) screwdriver, Beer can (shims only) thick strong wire

Power tools = Angle grinder, bench grinder?

I think you're only limited by your innovation

A good search on these forums will provide you with guides for using things you would NEVER of thought of (paper clip!)
