I would NEVER cut toilet flange bolts with bolt cutters!! That would mangle the threads and ensure that nobody in the future could remove the toilet without enormous effort! I agree that cutting those things off is a headache. My best approach is a quality hacksaw with a very fine-toothed blade, and a little patience. If you do repairs and remodeling, you'll tend to have a bit of charity for the guy who may follow up on your work a few years down the road
I have a new tool for cutting flange bolt that makes this so much easier than a hack saw. Please call.

I use a bi-metal blade in my Fein Tool. Blades aren't cheap but oh so nice compared to a hacksaw- Yuck.
The thought of bringing in contact a toilet base and a bolt cutter gives me the shivers!
I don't see the bolt cutter blades getting close enough to cut the entire nut anyway.
Our NEW Toilet Brass Bolt Cutter should be ready to market about the 1st of May. It should sell for $40.00 of less and cuts both bottom bolts in less than 10 seconds. Please call or text me @ 360-823-7545.
Thanks
