How the hell these prisoner’s got a hold of power tools is beyond me, but I wonder if they used corded or cordless? and what brand?

What power tools would you use to escape prison?

Haha that’s pretty cool Gatorb888. He was even nice enough to vacuum up all the mess before he escaped, lol

Here are the photos of where they escaped.

Looks like they had a cord. I see some holes that look like they are from a rotary hammer. And I think the cut in the pipe looks like it was made with a reciprocating saw.

I just don’t understand how they were not heard with all of that cutting.

i am thinking they used milwaukee M18 tools nothing “cuts the cord”, or jail bar in this case better than milwaukee M18 tools!

I’m on the opposite site of New York as where this happened, (western New York).

At first I didn’t see how this was possible, but protoolnut makes a good point about trusties.

I like the have a nice day note they left LOL
