How to cut thick wire armature?

[vegeta]

Hi

Can someone tell me how can i cut an 3 or 4 gauge
aluminum armature wire?...

I try with a 7" diagonal cutting pliers, but it was
to difficult, but after a while i was able to cut it..

should i use another thing to cut the wire?...maybe
a handsaw?...or a diagonal cutting pliers as big as
a gardener`s pliers?!!..

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Geezum flip! That is some heavy wire!!! Hell, I never use more than 16 or 14 gauge steel and that in itself is a big pain in the ass!

I recommend bolt cutters!

spoken in best ahnold voice.... 'get down the gym and pump up those arms puny man!' :) seriously, if yer working with wire that thick, get some bolt cutters. it might seem like overkill, but it will make the job a lot easier.
