Make repeated cuts in hard materials with this cutter. It mounts for stability and provides extra leverage. It has a short-nosed jaw that forces the material being cut deep into the jaw and also allows you to cut one side of a chain link or padlock hasp without hitting the other side. Align cutting edges with the adjustment screw. Not for use on wire rope.

Slice through bolts and chain with low effort. A spring opens the jaws for quick cuts. Not for use on wire rope.

The cutting head is angled 30° from the handles, so you can cut close to a surface or in a tight space without the handles getting in your way. For example, you could use these cutters to remove a bolt end that’s sticking out the side of your machinery. They’re also great for cutting chains, rods, and wire mesh. All have an adjustment screw to align the cutting edges. For more leverage, choose a longer cutter. Not for use on wire rope.

Make one-handed cuts with these small cutters. Because they’re shorter than standard bolt cutters, they’re best for cutting thin bolts and wire. For more leverage, choose longer cutters. Not for use on wire rope.

All have jaws that are riveted onto the handles except cutters with aluminum handles. Riveted jaws are not replaceable.

Serrated jaws grip the material you’re cutting to prevent slipping.

Spring-assisted cutters open automatically when you release the handles to help you make quick cuts.

Cutters with stainless steel jaws and handles resist corrosion in wet and damp areas.

Cutters with aluminum handles are 30% lighter than steel-handled cutters, so they’re more comfortable for repeated cuts. Their cutting head is replaceable, and they have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges.

Keep a variety of small cutters on hand for cuts in tight spaces. The handles are short enough to make one-handed cuts, but they provide less leverage than standard cutters. They’re best for snipping thin bolts and wire. Use a longer cutter for more leverage. They have serrated jaws that grip the material you’re cutting and prevent it from slipping. Since the jaws are riveted onto the handles, you can’t replace them. Not for use on wire rope.

An angled cutting head keeps handles up and out of the way for trimming bolts, chain, and wire against flat surfaces. Smaller than standard bolt cutters, these cutters can be used one-handed in tight spaces. They can also fit into tool pouches. However, they provide less leverage than larger cutters, so they’re best for slicing through thin bolts and wire. The jaws are riveted onto the handles and are not replaceable. Not for use on wire rope.

Hydraulic-powered jaws cut bolts, wire rope, rods, and electrical cable with low effort and minimal material distortion. Blades can be sharpened and replaced.

Cutter rated for 20,000 volts has insulated handles.
