FAQs

What is the maximum cutting capacity of this bolt cutter?

The Stanley 900mm Bolt Cutter is designed to cut materials up to 12mm in diameter.

What are the jaws made of?

The jaws are made from drop-forged chrome molybdenum steel for exceptional durability and strength.

How do I adjust the jaws for a cleaner cut?

You can use the quick adjusting screws located on the jaws to fine-tune their alignment for precise cutting.

Is this bolt cutter suitable for cutting hardened steel?

This bolt cutter is intended for soft to medium metals and is not recommended for cutting hardened steel, which can damage the jaws.

How should I maintain the bolt cutters?

Keep the jaws clean, lubricate the pivot point and adjusting screws periodically, and store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What is the weight of the 900mm bolt cutter?

The Stanley 900mm Bolt Cutter weighs approximately 12.7 pounds (5.76 kg).

Can I use this for very fine or detailed cutting?

While it has adjusting screws for precision, its large size and leverage are best suited for general-purpose cutting of thicker materials, not intricate detailed work.

Troubleshooting

Jaws are not cutting cleanly.

Ensure the material is within the 12mm cutting capacity. Adjust the quick adjusting screws to make the jaws meet more precisely. Check if the jaws are dull or damaged and consider sharpening or replacement if necessary.

Pivot point is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean any dirt or debris from the pivot area. Apply a light machine oil to the pivot and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Handles feel loose or wobbly.

Check the main pivot bolt and nut. Tighten if necessary, ensuring the handles still move freely without excessive play.

Rust appearing on jaws.

Wipe off the rust with a fine steel wool or abrasive pad. Apply a rust inhibitor or light oil to protect the jaws. Store in a dry location.
