Hi all - Wonder what everyone uses to cut EHS guy wire? I've tried a variety including a hack saw (pure torture!) to bolt cutters (put a nice dent in the jaws). What works best? 73 Barry -- Barry Kut

Barry, I have had good luck with good quality bolt cutters. I have cut a lot of 1/4 and 5/16 and some 3/8 with big bolt cutters--36" to 42" ones. Never had any problems with denting the jaws. The rea

I use a axe and a iron wedge or any metal surface for the guy wire to rest on, put the axe on the wire and strike with a 2lb or bigger hammer, works quite well! Jim K0KM -- To: <towertalk@contesting.
