I cut EHS steel strand all the time, and all I use are a good set of
bolt cutters. Snip, and the end looks fine! Never a problem, and I
use the same bolt cutters for years before tossing them out.
When I read about cutting wheels, plasma torches, and everything
else I wonder what kind of bolt cutters people are trying to use???
And yes, the cable I cut is EHS steel. Been cutting it since 1970,
and never a problem even with 5/16" .
