Bolt and Chain Cutters
 A |  |  B |

Cut medium steel chain and hard steel bolts, rods, screws, rivets, nails, bars, wire, and rebar. All cutters have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges. For more leverage, choose a cutter with a longer handle. Not for use on wire rope.
Cutters with aluminum handles are 30% lighter than steel-handled cutters, so they’re more comfortable for repeated cuts.
Cutters with telescoping handles let you adjust to longer lengths for more leverage, or to shorter lengths for easy transport.

Easy-Cut Bolt and Chain Cutters
Leverage points on the jaws and handles let you cut through bolts, chains, and rods with 30% less effort than standard bolt cutters. These cutters help reduce hand fatigue when you’re snipping through thick, hard metal or making repeated cuts. All have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges. For more leverage, choose cutters with longer handles. Not for use on wire rope.
Electrical-Insulating Bolt and Chain Cutters
Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These cutters are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. Use to cut medium steel chain and hard steel bolts, rods, screws, rivets, nails, bars, and wire. Cutters have an adjustment screw to align cutting edges. Not for use on wire rope.
Bench-Mount Bolt, Hard Chain, and Padlock Cutters
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.
Air-Powered Bolt and Chain Cutters
Slice through bolts and chain with low effort. A spring opens the jaws for quick cuts. Not for use on wire rope.

Bolt and Chain Cutters with Offset Handles
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.
