Default How to cut through hard cut nails?

We're remodelling a basement and need to remove hard cut (masonry) nails
that are along side a window. There is no way to reach the nails with a
hammer, so pulling them out or pounding them flush is not an option. (They
are in the concrete block wall around a window frame and we need to remove
them to slide sheetrock or paneling into the space.)

Are there saw blades that will cut through them?


Oh, you could eventually worry through them w/ a Sawzall, but you'll
have far better success w/ a rotary grinder/cutoff wheel....

Of course, access _can_ be made to anything, so pulling is always an
option. After all, it's only a cosmetic repair left to be made...
