The Crescent H.K. Porter 18-1/4" General Purpose Center Cut Bolt Cutter features all-purpose jaws with center-cut blades for cutting soft, medium, and hard materials. It cuts soft and medium materials up to 3/8 inch thick and hard materials up to 1/4 inch thick, with a maximum material hardness of Brinell 455 or Rockwell C48. This general-purpose configuration supports cutting applications ranging from light wire to steel rods and bars. 

The cutter uses toggle joints that convert 50 pounds of hand pressure into 4,000 pounds of cutting pressure and features strong, lightweight fiberglass handles with grips. A screw-type adjustment allows the cutting edges to be realigned, while a lock plate helps prevent the jaws from loosening. The cutter is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA with global materials and must never be used on energized circuits, wire, or cable.
