I just cut 'em off. But good luck with a hacksaw. Use a grinder and it goes pretty fast.

You can find them probably at harbor freight. Usually people just grind another set down for stuff like this.

One of the neatest tools I own: A set of "Chapman" allen type bits with ratcheting handle, these also come in metric and torx.

Chapman Sets also come in:
Standard and Metric Allen Hex, Phillips,
Slotted, Torx, Bristol, Robertson Bits

All these bits in one Set

For just a set of Security Bits
these are pretty complete

Agreed, but an even cleaner way way is with a Dremel rotary tool.
with a EZ Lock Cut-Off Wheel

Any generation Dremel tool will work. Here is the Latest

I used that Dremel Cut-Off wheel in older model Dremel to cut through a Euro style round shape high security padlock (I won't say the name) in 40 seconds.
