Wire saw - how effective at cutting steel cable + recommendations
If it was easy to cut them they would not be of much use as a security
device methinks, in fact I'm surprised bolt cutters worked unless they were
extremely big ones. Most people I know use combination bike locks, you don't
need a key.

On a cycle trip earlier this week and one of the group made the classic
mistake of padlocking the bike with a flexible cable lock without checking
that the key matched the lock.
A bit of frantic planning later and we located a set of bolt croppers at a
railway station on the route and managed to get the cable cut.
However I don't want to carry my bolt croppers just in case, and was
wondering if the survival type wire saws would (eventually) cut such a
cable.
If so, is there a recommendation?
They seem to come ridiculously cheap or quite expensive but I have no idea
how effective each one is.
Cheers
