FAQs

Are these jaws compatible with any bolt cutters?

No, these jaws are specifically designed for the Draper 68845 bolt cutters model only.

What is the maximum thickness of mild steel these jaws can cut?

They can cut mild steel up to 9mm diameter at HRC20 hardness, and up to 7mm diameter at HRC40 hardness.

How do I install these replacement jaws?

Installation involves unscrewing the old jaws from the Draper 68845 handles and attaching the new ones. It is recommended to consult the Draper 68845 bolt cutter manual for precise instructions.

What makes the jaws durable?

The jaws are made from chrome vanadium steel and are hardened and tempered to HRC58-62 for extended life and effective cutting.

What does the 30° offset mean?

The 30° offset refers to the angle of the cutting jaws. This design can provide better leverage and access in certain situations compared to straight jaws.

How do I adjust the jaws for optimal cutting?

The jaws feature a fine adjustment mechanism. Use this to ensure the cutting edges meet precisely before applying pressure for cutting.

Troubleshooting

Jaws are not cutting cleanly

Check the fine adjustment setting and tighten if loose. Ensure the jaws are correctly aligned with each other and the handles. Verify that the material being cut is within the specified hardness and diameter limits.

Jaws are difficult to close or feel stiff

Ensure the jaws are properly seated and the adjustment mechanism is not over-tightened. Check for any debris or obstruction between the jaws. Confirm correct installation onto the Draper 68845 handles.

Jaws do not align properly

Use the fine adjustment feature to realign the cutting edges. If misalignment persists, the jaws may be damaged or incorrectly installed. Consult the Draper 68845 manual for reinstallation guidance.
