Rock sheers for fragging

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a cutter that can cut through the live rock.



Thanks,
Mike

Hammer and chizzle.

How big of a rock? How thick?

bandsaw or chisel

Im not cutting a massive/thick rock or anything. I have some zoas that are on the same branch/ rock, about 1 inch dia that I want to cut.

Something like these- most of the retailers have them. But I've also heard that CVS / Riteaid has cutters you can use also.

Yeah I saw that but it doesn't look like it can cut 1inch dia branch. Do you have experience with them?

Yes plenty but for a one inch diameter branch you'll probably need a bandsaw or a chizzle. Home Depot has some good ones it would take you two seconds to crack the rock with that ... hit the top with a hammer.
