Feel that this is a dumb question but can a section of tower be cut with a hacksaw or would I need something stronger? I have a section of 25G that was cut prior to it was given to me and I wish to c

Thanks to all who replied. A hacksaw will work but it might be to much work. Picked up an attachment for my drill and will do it with that. Hopefully, I'll be able to get this project done this year.

There are two answers... 1) You take tools back? and 2) Until he comes over and whacks you with the plastic owl. 73, Ward N0AX _______________________________________________ _______________________
LOL! I like the plastic owl idea. I think if I was whacked by the neighbor by a plastic owl I would forever be wary of inducing his rage again. Bob There are two answers... 1) You take tools back? an
