BC-12B, Bolt Cutter 12 Handles with Black Head Center Cut

JET® Bolt Cutters are a top - notch tool for industrial use. These cutters feature high - carbon alloy tool steel jaws, which are perfect for cutting concrete - reinforcing rods, medium - tensile and soft bolts, rods, rivets, bars, and chains. The all - steel handles come with rubber grips and are angled to provide maximum leverage, reducing operator fatigue. They comply with Federal Specification No. GGG - C - 740d Type II. The jaws can cut materials up to a 40 Rockwell Hardness, suitable for various industrial applications. Designed with high - strength steel, they have a center - cut double compound action. The head is also designed to resist corrosion. Specifications include a stock number of 587712, a capacity of 3/16 inches, 12 - inch handle length, center - cut jaw type, a maximum material hardness of HRC - 40, and a Prop 65 warning of Cancer and Reproductive Harm. The jaw material/hardness (MW) is 40.

Using your JET Bolt Cutter is straightforward. First, identify the material you need to cut, like bolts or rods. Make sure the material's hardness is within the cutter's limit of 40 Rockwell Hardness. Place the material between the jaws at the center - cut area. Then, hold the rubber - gripped handles firmly and apply pressure. The angled handles will give you maximum leverage to make the cut easily. As for safety, be aware of the Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Always wear appropriate safety gear, like gloves and goggles. To maintain your cutter, keep it dry to prevent corrosion. After use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. If you notice any damage to the jaws or handles, stop using it and have it checked. This will ensure your cutter stays in good condition and lasts a long time.
