hi everybody this is Liam CJ troll now I
want to tell you what you're looking at
today this is a piece of cattle panel
and if you you know anything about
farming this is a real common way to
build fencing
now I happen to be building a gator I
did build a gate with this cattle panel
and it turned to me this is the kind of
material that people need to know how to
cut now what I will say is this I'm
going to turn this around so you can
take a good look at it okay now what we
have here is we have four gauge that
means a pretty thick galvanized steel
and when you're cutting four gauge steel
he need the right tool to do it now what
I will tell you is there's a lot of
people they would be inclined to use an
angle grinder on material like this
because it is so very thick and beefy
but I don't use an angle grinder on
cattle panel and the reason for that is
usually I'm working outside and I don't
want to be tethered to a power cord and
it's so much easier to use well let me
show you the tool that I use for this
kind of cutting this is what I like to
use right here these are 24 inch bolt
cutters

now bolt cutters make quick work out of
cutting heavy gauge wire like this now
you can cut more than just cattle panel
because we face it you know most of us
don't live on farms you can cut through
hardened steel like the lock here I'm
going to show you how easily it cuts
through with bolt cutters you know you
don't need a lot of strength because the
tool does the hole this is Leah saying
you can do this
