Default Better than the hacksaw method

Hi, thought I post here for picture.

This is for them tin can caps..
I was pondering for a better way, something to cut them open instead of
hacking, mangling & denting them up.

Went looking thru my tools and came across this gadget. It's a plumpers
tool,
called a tubing cutter.

Gave it a try and it works super great! No dents, no rough cuts, easy to
use.
Just wanted to share this with you if you didn't know already.

Ridgid tools make this one. _JD_

Good idea. I have a tubing cutter and have used it many times -- for other
things!

They make a clean, even cut and are quick and easy to use.

Welcome all... And the best thing (besides my moment of fame :P) it's so
easy to use.
Just "slowly" increase blade pressure after every revolution. Don't try
to chop it off in 1 pass.

Or a cheap one with skewed rollers.

Or an even cheaper one with no rollers at all. My dad had one of those,
it worked OK on copper tubing that didn't have to look good.
