The H.K. Porter Center Cut Compact Bolt Cutter is a powerful hand held cutter specifically designed for easier cutting of hard materials. The jaws feature a recessed throat notch engineered to hold material closer to the joint for better leverage resulting in 50% reduction in the force needed to cut compared to standard cutters. Its heavy-duty, precision aligned center cut blades equally distribute the slicing action on four sides of the material for fast and clean cuts.
