Our bolt cutters feature a center-cut design and come in six lengths: 14”, 18”, 24”, 30”, 36”, and 42”. The slim head allows for cutting close to surfaces.

Using these bolt cutters is easy. First, select the right size based on what you need to cut. Open the jaws wide and place the item you want to cut between them. Then, squeeze the handles firmly until the item is cut. Make sure to wear safety gloves and goggles when using the bolt cutters. Don't try to cut materials that are beyond the cutter's capacity as it may damage the tool or cause injury. After use, clean the bolt cutters with a dry cloth. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. If the cutting jaws get dull over time, you can take them to a professional for sharpening.
