With 450mm Cr-V steel blades, the Tolsen 10061 Industrial Bolt Cutter 18 inch shears metal rods and chains. Through a compound lever mechanism, the tool multiplies hand force for dense material penetration. Adjustable jaws maintain blade alignment for clean shears across industrial hardware.
Key Features
- Compound Cutting Action: Mechanical linkage system multiplies hand pressure for dense metal penetration. Reduces physical strain during repetitive industrial cutting tasks.
- Cr-V Steel Jaws: Drop-forged chrome vanadium blades provide high-torque resistance and edge retention. Prevents blade deformation when shearing through threaded rods.
- Adjustable Jaw Gap: Integrated bolt mechanism allows for precise blade alignment and tension control. Corrects jaw spacing after heavy usage in construction environments.
- 18-Inch Handle: 450mm tubular steel arms provide high leverage-to-weight ratio. Maximizes cutting power while remaining portable enough for road dust conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can an 18 inch bolt cutter cut?
It shears through mild steel bolts, chains, and wire cables up to 8mm thickness. The compound action handles most standard construction-grade metals without blade chipping.
Is Tolsen 10061 suitable for hardened steel?
These blades cut soft and medium-hardness alloys but will notch if used on case-hardened steel. Use it for rebar or standard padlock shanks instead.
