Default how to cut whip of 2 meter antenna ?

I need to "trim" the steel whip of a two meter antenna, and have not been
sucessful in finding an easy way to cut. Tried a vise-grip with its
close-in pinchers, and also tried a heavy duty pair of wire cutters, but no
go.

What common tool can be used to do this ? This steel whip sure is tough
!!


Thanks !!

I use a small rotary grinder to cut a line around the whip and snap it apart in a vice.
