For some reason regular scissors kick some *** in a pinch.

Use your hand. One quick karate chop motion should take care of 1/0 and maybe even 2/0 if you're strong

Just got one of the cable cutters in the mail from summit racing. These things are awesome. Could have gotten them cheaper though at weldingsupply.com. I havent seen them any cheaper than $23 at lowes.

edit: mine look like this but i got them free

Went to HD... these ended up being the winner for 12 dollars... box says it can cut up to 2/0 copper wire... we'll see if thats true tomorrow... thanks for the input guys...

BTDubs... I'm a blue belt so I'm pretty sure that I could Karate chop my wire if I wanted to, but I don't want to fry up my wire with the sheer power of one of my chops. That sounds like a waste of money...
