I needed something to cut some old barbed wire in the garden, but it can't cope with it. It did manage an old key ring, but soft brass defeated it. I'll return it and try the next size up.
Needed small croppers to cut springs on a bed base, this tool did it easily.
Just right for what i needed them for. Cat flap bolts the jaws were strong to cut without being left with indentations in the cutting surface. Would not use for heavy duty metals though.
Good, small but strong. Easy to grip, nice ergonomics.
The croppers cut through chain link fence ok. I don't think they will stay sharp for very long. However, for less than £7 you cannot complain.
Jaws barely open 1mm never even tried cutting anything with them, can barely get a piece of paper in the jaws absolutely kak.....just a lump of painted Metal
Went through wire fencing like a hot knife through butter
Great price worked great without being bulky cutting 3mm steel galvanised wire
Bought for a one off job, laying artificial grass and pinning it in place with wire pegs. In places, the pin legs were too long and needed to be trimmed. The cutters managed this easily and at this price, worth every penny!
Snips mild steel ok although the jaws spread without cropping on harder metal even 4mm thick, a little disappointed
It's disingenuous for Minotaur to call these Bolt Croppers - They are, at best, light duty wire cutters - and only soft wire < 3mm. I tried 2mm rylock fence wire and it's an awkward 2 hand struggle. The good reviews here are likley from folk who never used a real pair of bolt croppers which cut wire like butter. These don't...
The tool its self is ok, simple to use. However, after a couple of uses, the blades quickly dulled and i was unable to complete my project as intended. I think spending a bit more would have been a wiser choice
Bought these to cut 3mm galvanised steel mesh. My existing side cutters (diagonal cutters) were making very hard work of it.
OMG, what a difference! These are like a knife through butter in comparison. Wish I’d bought a pair long ago.
Great addition to the toolbox and not expensive. Another great product from Toolstation.
Great, works exactly as expected, no issues. Would recommend.
Easily cut a tough metal rod where my tools has failed. And they were a really good price.
Needed some bolt cutters for some wire and shortening screws and these have been really useful. They feel really well made too even though they weren't too expensive. The safety feature is handy as well
A bit lightweight but not every job needs a rock solid tool. Brilliant value considering the low price. Cut 2 - 2.5mm hard steel wire with ease, and with less effort than standard side cutters.
Great product. Fit for purpose. Was please with its performance
Snips through thinner gauge wire no issues. Great for what I needed it for
The reason why i bought this set of Minotaur Bolt Croppers 8"
