Filter cutter

What do you use to cut open spin-on type filters? I'd like to cut open the hydraulic filter of a used tractor I'm considering. Hacksaw makes
shavings which defeats the purpose. And yes, I am bringing a replacement. It's worth 30 bucks to me to know if there is metal in the system.
 
I use a roller type cutter that resembles an over sized tubing cutter. The racing guys use them so check with places like Jegs or Summit. Mine was around $30 several years ago
 
4 1/2 inch grinder with a metal cutting blade. I always cut open the hyd filters on the JD tractors.

A simple Rigid pipe cutter will work.
 
Rigid pipe cutter retail 150 dollars . Summit filter cutter 39 dollars . Unless you already have a rigid pipe cutter , large. The filter cutter is much cheaper.
