I think the product info said it would cut up to half inch rebar. It does but be ready to break a sweat.

These are the bolt cutters I always wanted. I got another set over a year ago but they were too big and bulky. This one is just right. It is heavy enough to cut a bolt up to 3/8″ in size but small enough to easily handle. If you need to cut a bolt or you need to cut a pad lock this is the tool for you. It is also Milwaukee brand which I always appreciate. I have a number of Milwaukee tools in my shop.

We used this to cut a wire fence in our back yard. It sliced through it like butter. It didn’t take anytime at all. Very glad I purchased it!

You better have some muscles if you are planning to use the Milwaukee 30 in. Bolt Cutter to cut a ½ inch bolt. Before getting the Milwaukee 30-inch bolt cutter, I had a 14-inch bolt cutter to remove barb wire strung across my property. That was easy work cutting soft 1/8-inch barb wire. I had a chance to get the 30-inch bolt cutter and I thought that would complete my cutter options. I wanted to put the 30-inch bolt cutter to a test and just happened to have a short length of ½ inch all thread rod. The cutters cut the ½ inch bolt, but it took a special setup and body weight to shear the bolt (see the attached pictures). I suppose if you are built like a body builder, cutting a ½ bolt might not be very hard. For me it took some work. I also cut a ¼ inch diameter piece of mild steel and that I could do with arm strength.I was able to cut the bolt, but where the bolt was cut, it was a beveled. To use the remaining length of all thread I had to grind the end of the rod using a bench grinder. I also had to use a ½ inch nut to back off the end of the all thread to clean up the threads. I suppose, if you are cutting a piece of chain or maybe a lock the shape of the cut doesn’t matter. I have not cut enough large bolts to know how important this is, but the Milwaukee Cutters have 2 special cam bolts to adjust the spacing of cutter jaw. I took some pictures of the cam bolts. I also showed the assembly of the jaws where the cam bolts are located. I give the bolt cutter a 5 out of 5 stars for cutting that ½ inch bolt. But at the same time, I think I will probably be using a Sawzall with a high strength carbide blade like the Milwaukee Torch metal cutting blade for the next ½ bolt I need to cut.

We are always very satisfied with Milwaukee products. They have never disappointed. We recently got the MILWAUKEE 18 IN. BOLT CUTTER WITH 1/4 IN. MAXIMUM CUT CAPACITY. We have used it to cut a lock, to which we forgot the combination, some wire fencing and some thick plastic plant poles for our shrubs. The are heavy duty, but not heavy. The blades are forged steel and they are adjustable. They have comfortable grips which help when you’re cutting something thick.

I hang a lot of things from the ceiling using chains and these bolt cutters come in handy to cut to get the right length of chain that I need. Max thickness is 5/16. Easy to use and easy on the hands after multiple cuts

I have, on occasion, needed a larger bolt cutter than the one I currently own. This 30″ cutter will definitely do the job – see picture comparison. This bolt cutter will cut soft metals up to 1/2″ in diameter and hard metals up to 3/8″ in diameter. At 30″ in length, you have the leverage you need for those thicker cuts. You also have comfort grips handles. This is a beast of a bolt cutter that should take care of the majority of your cutting needs.

did job. fine for smaller jobs. if you need some serious cutting look at something bigger.

A good tool that can cut almost any bolt less than ½ inch. The arms are angled in, to allow better spread and reach to cut. The blades have a lock to avoid getting loose in the cut. The blades are adjustable. Claims to cut 48 HRC hardness. 30-inch arms give great torque. The grips are secure on the arms. Has a spot to attach a safety lanyard. This is a serious cutter that will win any battle with a bolt. The Beast!

I needed a tool to efficiently and cleanly make multiple cuts in some 1/2 inch wire rope, so I thought I’d give this 30 Inch Bolt Cutter with 1/2 Inch Max Cut Capacity a try. Like all of the other tools I’ve used from Milwaukee Tool, this one is heavy-duty quality. It made quick work of the wire rope, cutting through it like butter. Just for fun, I dug through my spare bolt box and found a number of bolts of varying diameters and hardness. The cutter went through a 1/2 inch standard bolt with minimal effort – the leverage in those 30 inch handles is considerable. A Grade 5 3/8 inch bolt (Rockwell Hardness in the 30 range) took a bit more effort but was still not difficult. I was even able to cut a 3/8 inch Grade 8 bolt (RHC up to 39), although that one took some strength. Overall, this beast will cut a range of metals up to 1/2 thick and should hold up well under heavy use. I highly recommend it!

Small enough to fit in the tool bag, but big enough to get my job done. Comfortable handles; through riveted to the tool locking them firmly in place.Rated for 1/4 inch on hard materials; hardened chain, shackles, steel cables. 3/8″ on soft steel; fence links, soft chain or bolts etc.My main use is on wire racks; kind of like those that are used in closet organizers and storage shelves.A hack saw needs a vise or equivalent, a cutting wheel is messy and makes sparks.Jaws are the typical V design that meet in the center. Not insulated or designed to cut energized cables, but would make quick work trimming a bunch of 12-3 flat cables to length.
