Butter cutters
Would Not RecommendZero stars. Scrap metal in the shape of bolt cutters. The cutting edges-such as they are- dont even meet.
Adustment Required
Would RecommendI had to adjust the head to get them to close all the way so they would cut. I almost returned them, but figured out how to adjust them. Look for bolts on the head with arrows stamped on them.
Chop-chop
Would RecommendCuts the padlocks off the evidence locker, very effectvely! Great tool for evidence tampering & burglaries of locked up properties.

Kobalt 24 inch bolt cutters
Would RecommendExcellent quality and easy to use. Great leverage. I consider it a very good buy for the price. Without qualifications or reservations I recommend these. Given the name the quality does not surprise me.
Better than Harbor Freight cutters
Would RecommendI'm a truck driver who hauls containers. Every container has one or two bolts on it I have to cut off. My employer gave me a cheap bolt cutter from harbor freight and it would take me sometimes five minutes to cut through the bolt. Now I cut through the bolts with one snip using these bolt cutters. And it comes with a lifetime warranty. I paid $30 for these and it has already saved me enough time cutting bolts to pay for itself. Only four stars because the blades are getting a little duller afte...
Perfect
Would RecommendI used these to cut wire cattle panels. Worked like a dream.
did the job, but could be stronger and sharper
Would RecommendI bought this bolt cutters when my wife forgot to bring the key to a locked closet. I would say that the quality is fairly good, however, it could be better with stronger blades and sharper cutting edges. The lock that I had to cut was not that big, but it took a lot of effort to complete the job. I'm not sure if other brands could do any better considering locks today have hardened steel. I could tell that someone had bought this before, used it, and returned it due to the marks left in the cut...
Great bolt cutters!
Would RecommendBought these bolt cutters after a homeless person tresspassing in our open garage closed the door and put a combination lock on it locking us out of our own garage. These bolt cutters cut the combo lock with ease and got us back into our garage very fast!
