1. Bolt cutter

   A bolt cutter, sometimes called bolt cropper, is a tool used for cutting bolts, chains, padlocks, rebar and wire mesh. It typically has long handles and short blades, with compound hinges to maximize leverage and cutting force. A typical bolt cutter yields 20 kilonewtons (4,500 lbf) of cutting force for a 250 newtons (56 lbf) force on the handles. There are different types of cutting blades for bolt cutters, including angle cut, center cut, shear cut, and clipper cut blades. Bolt cutters are usually available in 12, 14, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42 inches (30.5, 35.6, 46, 61, 76, 91.4 and 107 cm) in length. The length is measured from the tip of the jaw to the end of the handle. Angle cut has the cutter head angled for easier insertion. Typical angling is 25 to 35 degrees. Center cut has the blades equidistant from the two faces of the blade. Shear cut has the blades inverted to each other (such as normal paper scissor blades). Clipper cut has the blades flush against one face (for cutting against flat surfaces).Bolt cutters with fiberglass handles can be used for cutting live electrical wires and are useful during rescue operations. The fiberglass handles have another advantage of being lighter in weight than the conventional drop forged or solid pipe handles, making it easier to carry to the place of operation.

   A bolt cutter is a tool used for cutting chains, padlocks, bolts, and other hard materials. It typically consists of long handles and short, sharp cutting blades that apply a large amount of force on the object being cut. The design of a bolt cutter uses the principle of leverage to multiply the force applied by the user.
