Plasterboard Angle Bead

[AndrewSchofield]

Can anyone advise what is the best tool to cut metal angled plasterboard beading. I have tried using a hack-saw but its a right royal pain in the rear!
There has to be an easier way...... isn't there?

As previously said - tin snips. When you cut it make sure you don't try to cut all the way through... Cut just short of the rounded corner, Starting from the flat edge and cutting towards it on both sides so they meet up, but not all the way, then separate the two pieces by bending them until it snaps through.
Lastly make the cuts so the ends are mitred, rather than square ended.
