Milwaukee injects new ideas into bolt cutters

Milwaukee Tool expanded its Hand Tool offering with the addition of Bolt Cutters. The tool feature Powermove Extendable Arms, a feature that is claimed to provide 30% more cutting power.

“When it comes to bolt cutters, the durability of the jaws and bolts are everything to the user. Today’s solutions have blades that commonly wear or pit, impairing cut performance, and their pivot bolts have a tendency to loosen and fall out resulting in premature tool failure,” said Derek Rose, senior product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “To address these needs, we designed our new bolt cutters with forged steel blades that are custom heat treated for maximum dura-bility and feature a bolt lock that keeps the fasteners tight so the user can stay productive.

Available in 14” and 24”, the new bolt cutters are designed with forged steel blades and bolts that won’t loosen, the company says. The Powermove Extendable Arms, allow the user to extend the arms for more power and versatility.
