This is one of the easiest two thumbs up I could give. The Knipex Cobolt bolt cutters, despite being 10” long, seem only to be limited by the capacity of their jaws, which can accommodate up to 1/4” thick objects. Remarkably, they achieve up to 40x leverage while delivering a straight cutting force centered on their target through an ingenious hinged mechanism allowing both blades to pivot up and clamp down in concert, cutting anything from a piece of paper up to 4.2mm piano wire, 1/4 bolts and rods, etc.These bolt cutters are possibly unmatched in quality and performance in their size range, and come with a lifetime warranty from a respected brand. Therefore I feel they are a solid value and well worth the price range at Home Depot.

Not exactly a “bolt cutter”, bought to cut heads off of bolts, works as long as bolt is no larger than an 1/8” thick. This is really more for clipping nail heads or wire.

Best I have seen. Hands down!

Bolt cutters is a bit of an overstatement. Thick wire, big nails, and large screw cutter is a more accurate title. If you need to cut any of these items, this cutter is great and well built. Don’t expect to cut rebar or locks with this. You need something about 4 times the size.I received this 10 IN. XL COBOLT LEVER ACTION BOLT CUTTERS WITH NOTCHED BLADE FOR LARGER CUT CROSS-SECTION for free to write this review.

Easily the best cutting pliers made. I use them exclusively for cutting hi tensile 12 gauge fence wire. This is my second pair to keep in the tractor. My original pair is 7 years old and they still work like brand new.

Extemely high quality small cutting pliers that are based on bolt cutter concept. These are not bolt cutters. I played around with them and cut through an old antenna. 4mm hardend steel. No way I could bend it by hand. Pliers took about 5 tries to cut bites into the steel but they worked. This will cut through any fence like a hot knife. Will be quite handy in an emergency.

Cuts heavy gauge wire like butter. Cuts cleanly and eliminates fatigue. Great for people with arthritis, carpal tunnel issues or other hand/wrist strength problems.
