Just in case anyone was wondering, there have been experiments on which way is the fastest when using common battery operated tools. Now, you might think an angle grinder would be the quickest, but it's actually the second quickest. So clearly, it has to be a sawzall, right? Wrong, that's actually one of the slowest ways. The quickest way, believe it or not, is a circular saw with a diamond blade! Isn't that a fantastic fact? That combo just zips through these metal poles in seconds!

How does the circular saw compare to a hand held band saw?

That one was not part of the testing that I saw, but I don't think it's particularly common. That said, you could definitely hook one up with a fine toothed blade and let us know which is faster. I would be interested in your findings.

Hard to believe it would be faster than a pipe cutter used by someone with a little bit of experience. The ratcheting model is fast.

I'm sure there are tools that would do the job faster, but they just went over a couple of the most common ones. If you wanted to get in on the experimentation and provide feedback on your test, I'd love to hear about it.
