You're looking for a metal cutting aggregate blade for your Skilsaw.
They're cheap (less than $5) and will zip thru any metal quickly. The
problem is that the Skilsaw is heavy and awkward at altitude but it'll work
FB.
My favorite tool for this is a 4.5" hand-grinder. They're not very
expensive. Get the smallest cutting blades for it (I think they're 1/8"). And
they're lighter and easier to use.
