Cuseikan Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I found the best and cheapest way to cut 4g and up. One day I was out back seting up the big 3, and I relized that I left my wire cutters at a friends house. I already had everything planed out, and didn't want to go and get'em. So I grabbed a steak knife that I use to open dog food bags, put the wire in a tabel vice pulled then cut. It only took a few strokes to cut it. My wire cutter cant really get around the wire, and I have to chew at it. That leaves the ends all jacked up, and allmost impossibel to put in a wire lug. But with the streak knife the cut was clean, and easy to clean up. Oh yeah it was 2/0. If your planning on buying wire cutters, try this first. It should save alot of money.

Cuseikan Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 well I guess it a cheap alternative. You could probably get a steak knife for a $1.00. I found mine. Oh yeah get the one with alot of littel teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
