Re: best tool to cut rusted bolts/nuts

Well I finished last weekend. Been busy painting today.

The report, when I could use the sawsall it was the quickest. I had to use the dremel with the fiber cut-off wheels to get a few bolts out of 3" channel that I could not reach with the sawsall. I cut ~40 bolts. I probably dulled one sawsall blade and went through one cut-off wheel (~$6 supplies total).

Didn't yet have to use the excuse to buy a grinder (darn). That money cane be spent for new trailer parts.

Thanks-

buy you a can of pb blaster spray it let it soak and (WALLA) off comes a rusted bolt! Thats only if you cant get your hands on a torch!! The only problem with grinders is you can mark up your frame some!!But it does work!!!
