Description
JET® Bolt Cutters are a top - choice for industrial cutting jobs. These cutters feature high - carbon alloy tool steel jaws, perfect for slicing through concrete - reinforcing rods, medium tensile and soft bolts, rods, rivets, bars, and chains. The all - steel handles come with rubber grips, angled for maximum leverage, which not only makes cutting easier but also reduces operator fatigue. They comply with Federal Specification No. GGG - C - 740d Type II. Key features include high - strength steel construction that allows cutting materials up to 40 Rockwell Hardness, a center - cut double compound action for efficient cutting, and a corrosion - resistant head design. Specs: Stock Number 587724, Capacity 3/8 inches, Handle Length 2 inches, Jaw Type Center Cut, Max Material Hardness HRC - 40, and a Prop 65 warning for Cancer and Reproductive Harm. Jaw Material/Hardness (MW) is 40.
Using your JET Bolt Cutter is straightforward. First, identify the material you want 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 at the center of the jaws for the best cutting result. Then, grip the rubber - coated handles firmly and apply pressure. The angled handles are designed to give you maximum leverage, so use that to your advantage. When it comes to safety, always wear protective gloves and goggles. Keep the cutter away from children. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the cutter clean to remove any debris or moisture. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the jaws and moving parts to prevent rusting. Store the cutter in a dry place. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, have it checked by a professional before using it again.
