Product Information
Full details
The Stanley 1-17-751 450 mm Bolt Cutter is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a durable and strong tool for cutting through bolts, chains, and padlocks. Its key benefit lies in its construction from Chrome Molybdenum Steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear. A potential caveat is its fixed 450 mm size, which may be less versatile for extremely tight spaces compared to smaller models. This tool offers precise cutting with quick adjusting screws and a cutting capacity of up to 8 mm.

The bolt cutter is made from durable Chrome Molybdenum Steel for strength and longevity.

Troubleshooting
Bolt cutter not cutting cleanly
Check if the material exceeds the 8 mm cutting capacity. Ensure the quick adjusting screws are properly tightened. Inspect the jaws for dullness or damage and consider sharpening or replacement if necessary.
Jaws feel stiff or difficult to open/close
Clean the pivot point and adjusting screws. Apply a light lubricant to the pivot mechanism and screw threads. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement.
Rust spots appearing on the tool
Wipe the tool thoroughly with a dry cloth. Apply a rust-inhibiting oil to all metal surfaces. Store the tool in a dry location.
Adjusting screws are difficult to turn
Clean the threads of the adjusting screws. Apply a penetrating oil and allow it to soak in before attempting to turn them again. Ensure the jaws are not excessively stressed when adjusting.
