Are these things actually on aluminum pipes? Steel would make a lot more sense -- stronger and cheaper ... and less attractive for theft.

    Even if they are, it would be mild steel and still pretty easy to cut.

    Still, even mild steel is significantly more difficult to cut than aluminum.

    That depends on the tools used.

    Basically, there are tools (blades) that are better at aluminum and some that are better at steel.

    You can use a wood cutting blade on aluminun, its noisy but effective.
