How did they get their equipment on the roof?
Hand tools, power tools, that enormous welder and their selves?
I love the movie, but this detail bothers me!
I wondered how also.

Same question here. Let's say they go up to the roof first, to cut the alarms. Then back down to do the job. Guessing the safe would be on a low level, or maybe a basement. The welder must've been in sections and screwed/fitted together. But they still needed to get it all to the building and load/unload.
Real thieves and cops were advisors on set, so there was at least some realism to the scenes.
