Cutting copper pipe
What's the easiest way to cut and remove an old copper pipe (no longer in use) that's surface-mounted in the corner of a room? There's not a lot of room to use a saw or pipe cutter.

"There is certainly always a better way to do things but sometimes you are better to just use a hacksaw or grinder when a pipe cutter won’t do the job and there isn’t enough space . Especially if it’s a obsolete pipe that is being removed completely"
