I like to grind them off with a plasma cutter or a regular torch with a scarfing tip.Grinding takes forever and the metal dust gets everywhere :D

Adding those two items to my list of someday need-to-have's. :D

Yeah the garage has metal all over the floor right now. I wish I had a torch, and probably could get the bottles cheap and borrow my dads parts to make it work. Ah well. :) Still is a cool pic.... :D

Air chisle works good if you have ear plugs. Grinding takes to long. Like others mentioned a blue wrench works the best. But when you don't have one, go with what you got.

IF YOU have ear plugs..... it sounds like a construction zone..... using a grinder and drill combo worked pretty good for me but the torch is the easiest method out there
