If you have a steel cut off wheel on a grinder that is the best way.

I use, duct tape, a sharp chisel, a 2.5lbs short handle hammer, the cement on the drive or garage and one good whack! It may take 2-3 though.

In the 2-3 case better hope your name is not lightining. You know it never hits the same place twice.

You need some reinforced tape to wrap the end (this keeps the wire from fraying. A cutoff wheel, or a pair of good snips, or cutters. I prefer the cutters over the cutoff wheel/grinder cause this tends to burn the rubber up at the end hose.

maybe a dremel with a cutoff wheel

that may work, use black electrical tape pulled tight.

Black tape end, metal hose clamp tight and cut with cutoff wheel as close to the clamp as possible- keeps it from unraveling (sp?). Works great for the novice like me! good luck

Do you guys keep the tape on the ends when you assemble the hose end?

I black tape it, Block of aluminum, big sharp chisel and one hard blow with a big heavy hammer.
Nice clean cut with no debree. Works great!

I left strapping tape on my 6an stuff before....... no issues.... my handheld cutters cut nice though the 6an stuff....... wont cut through the 8an stuff....

Couple of wraps of masking tape and a bang saw.

A couple raps of masking tape works well, i use a thin cutoff wheel on a 4 1/2 " grinder. I cut in the middle of the tape so the next piece is ready to go. I do leave the tape on to install the fitting to contain the braid so it doesn't fray, after starting remove the tape and continue install. I think which ever way you do it,it is most critical you flush the lines out throughly.It doesn't take much to jam your needle/seat in your carb and you sure don't want that crap in your oil if your plumbing a oil set up.
