Not too bad with a cutoff disc. Takes forever with a hacksaw. The ratchet straps I bought are short and I occassionally have to link two together on larger trees.

Just buy from Dutch, you'll be a lot happier. I know I sure was when I wanted a second set. Sew a loop or tie a figure eight knot if you get the raw strapping as I did. https://www.dutchwaregear.com/25-fee...o-webbing.html

Or you can order them premade and ready to hang.
