How does everyone cut hardware cloth?

Holy crap! Is that you in the video? If so, what tool were you using? I can't believe how fast it was cut! Woohoo!!

Yes, it is me. The tool is an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Makes quick work of it with no stab wounds! Make sure you wear your saftey glasses though.

Wow!! Do you think a drummel (sp?) with a grinding attachment would do the trick?

I really don't think a dremmel has the muscle.

We've used a sabre saw with a metal blade in it before but we didn't have that much to cut. Not sure how it work in the long run.

"How does everyone cut hardware cloth?"

With blood, sweat and .......tin snips. We just finished a 12 X 8 X 7 run covered in it.

LOL! I use a tin cutter and my husband thick leather gloves.

I'm not a fan of cutting this stuff. The tool looks nice, but I see there are different amps(7 and 10 volt) with different size wheel. Buying tools is difficult for me since I want the higher quality at the best price. My husband knows a bit more about what brand to buy.

What else can you cut with this tool or use it for? It looks nice and powerful. I just may buy one for my hubby as a gift. What's the best brand too?

Tin snips and bandages.
