sure they are easier, but im sure a lot more people have hacksaw's sitting around at there house. I personally use a hacksaw, and just use my sander and sand around the rough edges the saw made
why does everyone hate on hack saws??? everyone has one, they cut in like 5 seconds, u can esily use a file on the rough edges. not that it would matter because ur hand osnt coming in contact with the metal u cut because its in the grip!
