Removing body panel spot welds, the easy way

One of the most used / common tools is a Rotabroach

The most used size is 3/8 inch.

FYI: Most automotive prototype shops require mechanics have in your toolbox, and know how to use at least a basic Rotabroach® Cutter Kit like this.
5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, & 3/4" Cutters, Arbor, (2) Extra Pilots, & Center Punch

This is the easy way of removing spot welded parts, look at the videos.
