Cutting welds i need something to cut the welds off my DSS loop so i can get my new torque arm on
what type of cut off tool should i use, something that would last to cut the welds off (just the DSSL).
i dont have access to a plasma cutter or anything like that.

Get a 1/4" die grinder (air or electric) and a
pack of cutoff wheels and an arbor for them.
If you have compressed air a cheapie die
grinder is the way to go.
In a pinch a Dremel with a whole bunch of
those little cutoff wheels could do. I used the
Dremel to cut welds on the brake hose keepers
when adding LCA relo brackets even though
I have the bigger grinders, just because the
Dremel is finer / neater / fits in smaller spaces.
But for beefier welds it will be more time and
media consuming.
