    I had to cut some steel poles off a trampoline frame.

    Mind you, i’m not very strong but I was able to use a hacksaw I bought for like $20. It had grips on both sides.

    I cut off all the poles in about 20 min. Just gotta keep it level. Makes very little noise.

    I wore grip gloves to make it easier.

    I highly recommend hacksaws with grips on both ends as this really helped. I bet someone stronger than me could cut through a pipe in about a min or 2 with one of them.

    Barely making any noise.

      You would probably also want to wear a mask to keep from breathing metal powder. Eye protection as well!

      Something something magnetic so don’t carry a phone.
