18" High Leverage Compound Bolt Cutter

CT18HLC
The Crescent high-leverage compound bolt cutters offer a lower force delivering a superior cutting performance. The integrated stabilizer on the handles ensures increased leverage and control during cutting tasks. Additionally, their lighter weight compared to previous models reduces fatigue and provides enhanced precision. These all-purpose cutters come equipped with center-cut blades, allowing them to tackle soft, medium, and hard materials. However, it’s crucial to never use Crescent cutters on energized circuits, wire, or cable to ensure safety.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Can this item cut wire shelving, master locks, or chain link fence?
    Yes, this cutter can cut all of those items, but it depends on the diameter and the material hardness. The 18" high leverage compound bolt cutter can cut up to 7mm/0.27" at 48HRC.
    What size bolt can these cutters cut?
    The maximum diameter bolt that can be cut is 11mm with a material hardness of 24 HRC. Conversely, these cutters can cut harder material (up to 48HRC) at 7mm/0.27".
    What is the warranty on Crescent bolt cutters?
    Our bolt cutters are covered by our No B.S. Warranty. Fill out our warranty replacement form online or reach out to our Customer Service team at 877-626-3433.
    Why won’t my cutter cut all the way through this material?
    This can cut soft/medium materials up to 3/8” (24HRC),yet it's better suited for harder materials up to 9/32” (48HRC). Examples include hardened chain, padlocks, rebar, & guy wire. Bolt cutters in general perform material separation through a pinch rather than a true cut so the softer the material, the more likely you will have material pinching.
    How can I avoid a true "pinch" when cutting material?
    Bolt cutters in general perform material separation through a pinch rather than a true cut so the softer the material, the more likely you will experience the material pinching. We recommend that you line the material up all the way to the fulcrum of the jaws, & make sure you are adjusting the top points so that the blades come together.
