The Crescent H.K. Porter 30" Industrial Grade Center Cut Bolt Cutter is designed for heavy-duty cutting applications involving soft, medium, and hard materials. Its drop-forged, precision-ground alloy steel jaws feature center-cut blades and can cut soft and medium materials up to 1/2 inch thick and hard materials up to 3/8 inch thick. The cutter is rated for materials up to Brinell 455 or Rockwell C48 hardness, supporting industrial cutting applications ranging from lighter wire to heavy steel rods and bars. 

The cutter uses toggle joints that convert 50 pounds of hand pressure into 4,000 pounds of cutting pressure. A screw-type adjustment allows the cutting edges to be realigned as needed, while a lock plate helps keep the jaws from loosening. The 30-inch cutter features steel handles with rubber grips and is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA with global materials. Crescent H.K. Porter specifies that the cutter must never be used on energized circuits, wire, or cable.
