Cutting rebar...

Hope someone can help. I'm going to be cutting some rebar (only 6-8 pieces), and wondering what would be the best tool for this.

Had thought maybe just power through with a hacksaw using the appropriate blade, as there aren't too many to cut.

Looked at a multi tool, but not sure how much use I'd get from it later on(probably a bit, but I do have other power tools), and not sure it would actually do a great job.

I know an angle grinder would work, but again buying/hiring one for such a small amount of cutting seems a bit of overkill.

Anyone have experience of this? I'm not averse to putting in (wo)man power and sawing by hand. Just want to make sure I won't go through five blades to do a single cut.

What size are the bars? I think I would go for the angle grinder as a minimum, it's quite a hard steel. But have not actually tried it myself.

Thanks raisingsteam. Haven't bought them yet, but think the angle grinder is the way to go too, thinking about it.
