tape, wire, vice grips, supposed to use seizing wire... whatever... Not sure if I prefer electrical tape or duct tape. Just make sure you seize it before cutting
Since I bought a DeWalt cordless grinder with a cutoff wheel I virtually never use my Stihl TS350 cutoff saw.Believe it or not, the $20 Harbor Freight cable cutters work great, I have a pair 16 years old I have cut lots of cable, barbed wire, cattle panels, ... with & they are still going strong. A 4" angle or die grinder with a cutoff wheel works as well.
One of the first specialty tools I bought for myself (back around 1973 or 1974) was a cable cutter. I still have and use it. Along with a few sizes of forged wire rope clamps, again in the bottom of the metal can in my truck box that holds various chains, I can usually fix broken ropes. I have spliced ropes also>Never used an ax but have drilled a hole in a big block of wood to hold a cold chisel & 4# cross pein hammer. Works in a pinch, but not near as clean as a cut off wheel or cable cutters.
