Ivy Classic - Hi-Leverage Bolt Cutter 18"

Built for jobsite muscle and shop precision, this 18" hi-leverage bolt cutter combines hardened cutting jaws with a compound-action linkage to turn modest hand force into clean, confident cuts. The balanced 18" length gives you portable power for bolts, chain, locks, wire rope, and threaded rod, while the adjustable jaw screws keep the blades aligned for smooth performance over time.

Key Features

• Compound-action mechanism multiplies hand force for easier cutting.
• Hardened steel jaws with precision ground edges for clean, consistent cuts.
• Adjustable alignment screws to fine-tune blade clearance and extend service life.
• Center-cut jaw geometry handles a wide range of materials and shapes.
• Durable, forged head and heavy-gauge arms for long-term reliability.
• Non-slip, comfort grips for control and reduced hand fatigue.
• Compact 18" length for portable power in tight spaces, tool bags, and service vehicles.
• Ideal for bolts, chain, padlock shackles (where permitted), wire rope, and threaded rod.

Q: What materials can the 18" bolt cutter (11010) cut?
A: Mild steel bolts, chain, threaded rod, and wire rope within typical 18" cutter capacity. Avoid hardened/tempered alloy steels unless the tool is specifically rated for them.

Q: How do I get the cleanest cut and longest blade life?
A: Place the workpiece close to the jaw pivot, use steady two-hand pressure, keep blade clearance properly adjusted, and avoid twisting during the cut.

Q: Can I adjust the jaws as they wear?
A: Yes—use the twin set-screws to fine-tune blade alignment/clearance so edges meet evenly along their length.

Q: Is this size good for portability vs. power?
A: The 18" length balances both—compact enough for a tool bag, yet the compound-action linkage provides strong cutting force for common shop and jobsite tasks.
