The Crescent H.K. Porter 36" Industrial Grade Center Cut Bolt Cutter is designed for heavy-duty cutting in industrial, construction, and maintenance applications. Drop-forged, precision-ground alloy steel jaws with center-cut blades cut soft and medium materials up to 9/16 inch thick and hard materials up to 7/16 inch thick. The cutter handles materials up to Brinell 455 or Rockwell C48 hardness, making it suitable for professionals working with tough metal materials that require high cutting force.

The cutter uses toggle joints that convert 50 pounds of hand pressure into 4,000 pounds of cutting pressure, while 36-inch overall length and steel handles with rubber grips provide leverage and control during demanding cuts. A screw-type adjustment allows the cutting edges to be realigned, and 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.
