Same same.Same!
What are the best pliers/tool for cutting wire fence for cages? I use lineman pliers, but I don't love them because they don't spring back open. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Usually cutting 5' welded wire fence with a 4"x2" grid.
Not made for a steady diet of wire cutting....IMO. I have used a bolt cutter and a lineman pliers mostly......but the bolt cutter is easier on the hands. Tho I have used the pictured Irwin sheet metal shears a few times too. I wish I had thought of my electric wheel cutter and a decent metal blade. I bet that would be the best ticket for this job.I have mostly 2"x4"x48" welded wire cages. I have mostly 14 gauge cages, but I do have about 5 rolls of 12 gauge wire that I bought. Thinking I have at least 300 cages maybe a little more. If I am making 10 cages out of a 100 foot roll I can get them all cut and formed in 20 minutes with no snow on the ground. I cut all of mine with the same snips in my picture and its still working fine after all those rolls. I unroll the whole roll and then "measure" with a 10ft 2x4. It goes quick. Probably $15-20 at Menards. Works awesome unless you put it in the hands of a pansy. Spring loaded.

I use a battery powered angle grinder with a cutting disc.

Four hours ...each way and then another trip to give back the grinder. OK....makes perfect sense to me. Grin.Absolutely! I’ve got one at the cabin. If I’m there, come get it.
