How does one cut 1/0 gauge wire? The stuff seems so thick, and I attempted to cut it with a hacksaw but it just messed it up. My wire cutter is far too small for this job. How do you guys go about doing this? Thanks

Crap Tire sells cable cutters for this purpose. They're around $15. Right on the rack with the rest of their pliers etc..
