I need advice on how to cut a firehose?

I have to cut through a firehose and I was able to do it with a hand saw and house scissors but it took forever. Is there any tool out there that can cut through firehose a lot quicker and easier?





thank you :)I need advice on how to cut a firehose?
some ideas , hacksaw with course blade, metal cutting sheers, an Axe or hatchet , a saws all , if you have a circular saw put a ';fine tooth blade '; on it , or a long knife like a machete';sharpened'; and use it like a saw. If you put some tension on the hose it will cut more easily than if it lays there all limp and floppy. good luck. you didnt say how many cuts you need to make so its bit hard to advise, if alot of them, a sawsalll would work but may cost too much.I need advice on how to cut a firehose?
I would wrap it tightly with tape and then use a hacksaw with course teeth. Fire hoses lay flat so cut it on the flat.
you could get some ';anvil type lopping shears';
Use a box knife.
