Question?? I got a new tool today.

Well.....

Safety is a primary concern.

Cutting anything that is under tension is not considered safe.

Glad you had no issues, but I would not recommend doing it that way to anyone.

Then tell me how you would do it, when the adjuster bolt and block, are rusted, fused, together.
Answer me that please, if you would.
