A 4 1/2 inch angle grinder with a metal cut off wheel. Mine from walmart.

 

A bolt cutter is what I would use.

 

I use a sawzall

That depends on how much muscle YOU can supply. The larger the bolt cutter, the easier it is to use them, because the handles are levers. The longer the lever, the more force is applied per unit of effort.

I wouldn't willingly go less than 14 inches. My favourite is 36 inches.

Again, the smaller the bolt cutter, the more force YOU have to supply. If it is just a snip here and there, small is fine. If it is an entire fenceline, then larger is better.

I hope this makes sense. It's all a matter of the tool doing the work, and being really bulky, or you doing the work and the tool being cute and small. I want the tool to do the work...

 

If you do, remember a face shield. I forgot to mention that. Safety first!

 

Keep in mind those cut ends are VERY sharp. We had a young doeling get stitches because she caught it as she ran by. An angle grinder works well to file it down flat.

 

I use a bolt cutter!!!!!!!

 

I use bolt cutters too but I use my dremmel to file sharp edges.

 

I use angle grinder, sawzall,

,and bolt cutters. Depends what’s handy.

 

Does no one use The Force??? I had assumed one or 2 Jedi in training here...

 

I think the bolt cutter is safer! People I know of have cut their thigh artery with an angle grinder. That was their last job.

And the bolt cutter does not need a charged battery.

 

I wish!!!!

 

When I look at it again - where is the other handle? You are supposed to hold that tool with both hands, it can slide anyway ...
