[Towertalk] Guy Grip Question

[n4kg@juno.com]

I assume you are talking about LOOSE guy wire,
not one that is pulled tight on a tower.

I use bolt cutters but agree, sometimes they don't 
cut all the way through, especially if the ends are loose.

I'm talking about 3/16 and 1/4 inch EHS as used on
MOST amateur installations.
