Tin snips/Hard-wire cutters. Easy to use, easy to find & cheap.

Wire nippers ;)))

Answer 3

Try a Dremel Moto-Tool. It's a small hand held grinder/multi use tool. Ask friends....the do it yourselfer type. A very thin cutting wheel is made for doing just what you want.

Always wear eye protection & be careful. Metal gets quite hot when grinding it.

Answer 4

try a jeweler. =)
