I use a metal cutting chop saw. That way I can cut one end on a 45 degree angle which helps it go in the ground easier.

Chop saw, cut off wheel on a 4 1/2" angle grinder, or cut off wheel in a 7 1/4" circular saw. Used them all. I even used a hack saw, saws-all, bolt cutters, and couple I chewed in half too. I reccomend the first three options. \:D

I would pay a great deal of money to watch ADC chew a piece of rebar in half. Anybody else want to donate.

You can saw a little cut with a hand hacksaw and bend it at the cut and it will snap right off.

the circular saw metal cutting blade is by far the cheapist route if you dont own a cutting torch or a chop saw........the blades come in several different thicknesses at lowes for around 3 dollars and up

They are extemily fast also........

1/2" and up...chop saw.

3/8"...bolt cutters...just because there's less moving around and ultimately it's faster.
