- I often find statements from manufacturers concerning the thickness of round bar or flat bar their tools cut. How do I know a tool really cuts what the manufacturer claims it can cut?
- If a hydraulic tool like a spreader, cutter or ram is pressurised and holding a load, can I disconnect the hoses? If I do so, can I still operate the tool by turning the control handle?
