Yeah, I would think bolt cutters would be more useful.

Nah but rubber bands are effective

We did to cattle growing up.

Their nuts just fall off.

Yeah, meanwhile I've used bolt cutters more than most people (anarchism got me doing bicycle repair and salvaging which involves them front time to time), and they work by leveraging the stiffness. They aren't actually sharp, they're just dull scissors with a fuck ton of leverage

Yeah, the harder the steel the better bolt cutters work.

They suck with a real mild steel.
