Have installed sheet metal roof (TP20) with farm screws as it should be. However, they are too long and have gone through purlins, and they protrude where the joints are screwed as well. I would like to cut these as they are quite bothersome as they are now.
Do you have any tips on how to cut them the easiest way? It's a bit tight to access some of them.

Unfortunately, I can't reach with a tiger saw. I don't want any marks on the underside of the metal or battens.
It's just battens lying on the beams up in the roof, not any tongue and groove boards or similar.
I would prefer to have the screws completely off against the metal, but maybe it's not possible to get them that close.

Bolt cutter? Alternatively strong wire cutters?Grillen said:
Switch to shorter without drill bit
Would have worked if I hadn't already installed everythingR rävlyan said:
Might try using a heavy-duty pair of cutters where I can reach. But there are some that are difficult to reach from the side, and that's where I fail with a pair of cutters.
You're probably not going to be able to bite off, they're pretty hard
Where have you had screws, with drill head, then the hole in the wood is almost a bit large for short ones without drill.
maybe if you find a montagemskruv that is a bit thicker, I'm doubtful if they come with a seal
