36" +3 A 36-inch bolt cutter is a heavy-duty hand tool designed to cut thick, hard metals using mechanical leverage. It is commonly used on construction sites, in warehouses, and by emergency responders to slice through thick padlocks, chains, rebar, steel rods, and pre-stressed concrete mesh.Key Specifications & ApplicationsMaximum Cutting Capacity: Typically cuts materials up to \(\frac{5}{8}\) inch (16mm) in diameter, depending on the hardness of the metal.Materials Handled: Case-hardened chains, galvanized steel cables, threaded rods, high-tensile bolts, and heavy wire fencing.Leverage Mechanism: The 36-inch handles amplify the user's hand strength into immense jaw force, which is necessary for shearing through high-tensile materials.
