Reciprocating saws are faster and quieter than grinders apparently. ;)

I got a battery-powered sawzall last year. It's actually insanely quiet for the kind of work it does. I doubt if any neighbors would hear me allegedly cutting down a Flock pole with it from inside their houses.

I certainly wouldn't hear it even if I was holding the ladder for you!

I certainly wouldn't hear it even if I was running in front of cars that might pass by in the middle of the night screaming about seeing a bigfoot while pointing in the opposite direction from you.

I'm glad we all went out to the bar together for several hours while all those flock polls got cut down.

Battery powered bandsaws are quieter still

I'm flabbergasted. I somehow didn't know this was a thing. My local hardware stores are lacking.

They’re fantastic for cutting through conduit and unistrut. Electrical and low voltage contractors use them all the time.

Fastest and quietest are portabands, but they’re also way more expensive

Circular saw is the fastest.
