Heck, I could've used ya last night to finish hacksawing the intermediate pipe on my SS. The Sawzall could only get 3/4 of the way through because of the tunnel so I had to finish sawing it by holding the blade in my hand! It took about 2 hours when it should have taken minutes. But as you've already learned, things don't always go the way you hope they do.
was there a reason why you couldn't hack the pipe enough to make room for the saw? damn, that's nuts. i surely would've resorted to some other cutting means besides holding a blade in my hand for two hours. a ferd wrench and a screwdriver, or something. then again, i am not known for being very patient...
