I used a Sawzall once to cut down a willow tree...they're amazing.
I'm not too worried about cutting exhaust pipes, but the nuts and
bolts can be a real pain. I recently did the (original) exhaust on
a 10 yr old Prelude, and I had to cut the 6 bolts that secure
the cat into the system. I used a 4" electric grinder which worked
OK, but it's heavy and the wheel is a little big in tight quarters.
I was hoping that a cutoff tool would accomplish this the next
time that I need to do a similar job, but it sounds like it might
be a little weak. So...how do folks cope with cutting bolts in
tight quarters (sorry, an acetelene torch is not an option)?
