Ryobi 18-Volt One+ Cordless Bolt Cutters (Tool Only)

Product Information

The Rockwell Scale uses an HRC code that tells you the level of hardness and resilience of the steel.

This was our fault and not the tool’s since it’s not designed to cut anything but threaded bolts, but it does limit the tool’s use. If you need to bust a bolt, remove a rusty padlock, cut through cabling, or fix a wire fence, you need the best bolt cutter. Bolt cutters, also sometimes known as bolt croppers, are used for cutting bolts, chains, padlocks and wire rope.Efficient, long-lasting, and ergonomic, the WORKPRO W017004A 14-inch Bolt Cutter makes any metal cutting job quick and easy. While this was initially annoying, the hinges loosened up after we cut through 20 to 30 metal items. One of the key differences is that diagonal cutters are often better suited to smaller, more delicate cutting tasks, whereas side cutters are ideally suited to larger-scale applications. This pair of 910mm Arm Adjusted High Tensile Bolt Cutters from Irwin Record are ideal for a wide range of heavy duty bolt cutting applications. Attempting to cut materials that are harder or thicker than what the bolt cutters are rated to handle can damage the blade or the joints.

Wherever there is a thicker metal component needing to be cut, from padlocks to chain-link fencing, bolt cutters will prove themselves useful. The fiberglass handles have another advantage of being lighter in weight than the conventional drop forged or solid pipe handles, making it easier to carry to the place of operation. Large bolt cutters, which can be as long as 48 inches, can handle hardened steel rods, heavy chains, and thick threaded cable up to 7/16 of an inch in diameter.The downside is that after we powered through multiple steel bolt cuts, we found a couple of nicks on one of the blades.

Available in a range of sizes depending on the scale of material to cut, large bolt cutters offer greater lever length for the user requiring less force on tougher materials. Strong tubular ergonomic bi-material handles have red/blue anti-slip grips that give you greater control during challenging tasks.

Large bolt cutters that measure 30-42-inches are perfect for cutting through medium-hard metal materials such as thick steel chains, copper cable, steel rods, and large bolts and padlocks.

Specially designed ergonomic soft-grip blue/black handles make these bolt cutters fit comfortably and securely in your hand. Throughout the testing process, we awarded points based on several aspects, such as the overall design of the tool, ease of use, cutting performance, and tool quality.Powerful metal crunching jaws and precision ground, induction-hardened center-cut blades deliver exceptional blade durability, which means this bolt cutter is well primed to cut bolts, screws, padlock hasps, electric wire, chain link fences, heavy steel rods, and bars. Plus, it powers through stainless steel, spring wire, heat-treated rod, reinforcing rod, steel cable, and bolts. Can be used withone-hand thanks to the low weight two-component plastic housing, which has a soft lining. This was the only set of bolt cutters that cut through ½-inch rebar, and we didn’t find any damage to the blades afterward.
