I was kinda surprised that the circular saw (aka skilsaw) was the most effective. I would have thought a specialized angle grinder to be the most effective but it makes sense that something with a larger blade and more torque with the right blade would be best.
Angle grinder abrasive cutting wheels are mostly only better for cutting through hardened lock hasps where the teeth of a circular saw blade would chatter and bounce off.
Yeah, the angle grinder is for what the name suggests, not chopping. Circular saws have 1/8 wide flat faced carbide teeth that work like little chisels with each pass.
