I have always used a pair of bolt cutters or a pair of tin snips.

^X2.

Set it with all doors closed. If possible in a open parking lot or field with no buildings close by. Just take a little off at a time, nothing like buying a new antenna and wrecking it cause you got a little cutter happy!

On my Wilson 5000 I used a hack saw (cutting at least 1/3 way through the rod)then broke off 1/8 inch pieces with plyers till the swr's were where I wanted.
