Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Good point. I actually used a six inch socket extension and whacked each screw with a small sledge hammer. The diameter of the socket extension was just smaller than the screw heads. I think it broke the rust a bit.
Yes - I used a 1/2 impact wrench with a large slotted bit. I had to keep pressure on the back of the tool to keep the bit from bouncing in the 1/4” slot. Otherwise the tool would mangle the screw (because my bit was substantially smaller than the screw slot).
Starting to think about the color I will be painting the safe. It was originally brown, which I don’t care for. Black is traditional. However I’ve seen some really cool colors on the internet.
