stuff snipped

get a set of bolt cutters and be done in about 15 seconds.
as far as maintentence, spray regularly with WD-40.
I've had some outside for over 20 years

I've got a set of bolt-cutters (articulated for increased leverage) but
they've never impressed me much. Might try it before I buy the grinder,
though. So far, it's only been useful for cutting softer metals.
