My guys still use a construction saw on job sites. Well most time I am doing it because the caliber of help I can afford dont understand to stay away from the blade!!! Works great, we call it nipping the beads. I do usually have a skid steer on our jobsites, makes getting the tire off easier after the beads are nipped. Before it, we just nipped the bead and then ran a saws all across the treads!
