    I use a Milwaukee Sawzall. The blades are called The Torch - 18 TPI.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I use a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder with a thin metal cut off blade. Cut the copper elbows off the out side of the steel and cut them flush with the steel then take a large pair of plyers pull the steel off. Quick and easy and you will have clean copper elbows with little waste. You wont have to pull all those little elbows out of the steel.
