Hi Brian, Hacksaw. See there, relentlessly low tech. I haggle half way through, or so, and break them off from there. This minimizes the whacking of the case sides, and the nicking of the pins and coils disasters. Then I either file them flat, or just peen the burrs down with a beater, depending on how anal I'm feeling, and how much time I already have invested. Most of the people I've done this job for have watched at least part of the process, and are shell shocked so badly by this point that neatly finished bolt ends under the lid tend to be way down on their priority list. I never have used CA in (on) a wound, but I'm told it's done, and quite successfully. I have, however, resorted to a brisk acetone dip and masking tape, er, mask to staunch the blood flow in those instances when I really couldn't stop for more civilized first aid methods. I'm not well versed in real emergency first aid methods, but I've got Triage, slap-n-patch and ignore, and healing up down pat. Ron N
