This bolt cutter would not cut bolts at all! even the old rusty ones.
Better than "big" name brand ones
Would RecommendWorks just as well if not better than the "big" name brand ones and cost a fraction of the price.
When luggage locks fain, these cutters don’t.
Would RecommendThese small bolt cutters were a godsend on a recent vacation when a luggage lock was jostled and refused to be opened on a recent trip. They now reside as a permanent addition to the tools carried in our car.
It works great but doesn't open very wide at all
Would RecommendDoesn't seem to cut with the ease it used to........I know it's because I'm getting old and am not as strong as I used to be, I would love it if the had a stronger spring assist option
Great for steel crimp rings
Would RecommendPerfect
Liked the price
Would RecommendI bought this to cut indoor plant hanging chains and it worked perfectly. Probably wouldn’t cut as easily through a heavier chain.
More like wire cutters
Would Not RecommendThese should not be called "bolt cutters"; they are wire cutters.
Not sure what they could be used for
Would RecommendI bought this to cut wire shelving. I ended up having to go back and buy the 18 inch as these were too small. The 18-inch worked great so I'm sure these would be fine for a small job. Just not sure what I would use them for.
Handy bolt cutter
Would RecommendI was in need of a small bolt cutter for a few drywall screws in a very tight spot. Honestly, i was really surprised with the result. It cut them like butter with no damage to the jaws. certainly a winner in my book!!!
