OK, I have a hydraulic cable cutter that worked today. The cutter
head
and power supply were initially unrelated.

I realized that if I cut some tubes first, I can unroll the coil
tube
by tube.

That looks really nice. Should do a good job on this.

I bought the pump on craigslist and the cutting head I bought new

The quick disconnects used on Porta Powers are handy for other things.

Just be sure to put the plastic plugs/covers back on every fitting
every time. (I got chewed out at the body shop for forgetting once.)

Amazon is slightly cheaper and has free 2-day Prime shipping if you're
a Prime member. It's $99/yr and they just told me I had saved $289
last year in shipping fees.
