Would RecommendI got these to cut heavy gauge wire. My wire cutters could cut the wire but is was very difficult. These bolt cutters make the job easier. The only draw back is that the jaws need to open slightly wider to make ht ecut even easier.
Good tool for light work
Would RecommendI started a project requiring a lot of small gage steel rod cutting. I bought these thinking they would handle what I needed them for. However they couldn't cut 1/8 inch diameter wire rods. They cut smaller gage rods well, but the jaws wouldn't open far enough enough, It was my mistake not a problem of the tool.
Exactly What is Needed
Would RecommendI liked the 8-in bolt cutter because it's small size and extremely fluid mech movement fits small jobs perfectly. While not the cutter for anything close to 1/4" in diameter, it works just like it's meant to work - cutting cleanly and efficiently on small metal brads and other such items. Worth the money.
Nice tool
Would Not RecommendNice tool. Very good quality at a good price. It will very handy around the shop.
