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.

Thought you might have something like that around. You are quite the
scrounger


I bought the pump on craigslist and the cutting head I bought new from
a retailer.


Wasn't the recip saw a lot quicker? That thing must take a minute or
more to cycle, huh? Nice, though! Was it expensive?


The pump was $100 on craigslist, the head about $130. Sawzall alone
would not do it. My guy also used a circular saw with 60 tooth blade.
