Hard Wired

I work for my county's public works department. Recently I was assigned to a crew to trim roadside vegetation. During the course of the day, the Brush Hog operator snagged an old guide wire cable with the mower blades. We searched the trucks for a tool to remove this tangled cable from the blades. Unable to find bolt cutters I pulled out my Leatherman Wave and proceeded to unwrap the wire strands in the cable and cut them individually with it. In about ten minutes we were back at work cutting the brush.
