PVC pipe cutters will slice 0 gauge "like butter" and cost under $10.
Get them at any home center

I tried my reciprocating saw, but I didn't have as much control.
As far as the torch goes, I don't need one (refer to post #23)

but im not superman

With enough practice, you too can do it...

Just go outside and focus on a piece of wire. It may take a few hours, but you'll get it eventually...

It helps if there are a lot of people around to witness the event...

I used one of those on a cable before, didn't turn out to well. I'll stick to the norm.

I stole a pair of bush trimmers from my mom's to cut and strip my 1/0 gauge. Worked like a charm, just a couple squezzes and bam. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nutkick.gif.acc8dcd6c1bd27fba0cbeda5b212085c.gif

Well, after dicking around with the wiring in my Hoe the other night and failing to cut through it with the provisions I had at bay, I got pissed and used my electric angle grinder. Worked great, smooth cut, no freyes (sp?) on the wire nor the insulation, and it went through without a problem. No hurt hands, no fudged up cuts, just real nice and simple. Just thought I would let ayll know in case you have one handy and had never thought of it.
BTW, a grinding wheels works as well as a cutting wheel.

Just a little overkill ??

Kinda like cracking nuts with a log splitter ain't it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
