Do most of you bend the bx and use tin snips to cut it or use bx cutter or hacksaw method?

No contest... BX cutter, "can opener" type...

I'll second you (except for larger sizes which need Hacksaw)

I take my Klein diagonals and pinch a rib with the very ends of the cutters. Then you just "unscrew" the aluminum about a 1/4 turn and pull it off. Quick, easy and you don't need to carry around an extra tool.

I had a Roto-Split just sitting in my box for years, until one day my Klein BX cutters broke. After I used the R-S for the rest of the day, I realized how much easier & faster it works for me. Never went back.

I have been using a Roto-Flex for years but I will certainly try this method
