Title: Does What It Is Designed To Do
Review: A friend lost the key to her backyard fence lock and when I tried to use my 18 inch bolt cutters on it, they would not even begin to dent the lock shaft as it is hardened steel. Locksmiths will bill you serious money to handle this type of situation, so I went online and discovered this type of bolt cutter will work even on hardened steel.When the Neiko Heavy Duty 4000 LB Bolt Cutter arrived today, I immediately gave it a test on a hardened steel padlock I have that is about 50% thicker than my friend's lock. Just as advertised, it crushed the shaft and barely left a mark on the cutter blade.A note to prospective buyers, the Neiko is heavy...13 lbs and with its 36 inches takes some physical strength to handle. It took a few moments of grunting and maneuvering the Neiko, but it worked just fine. Great product that works as advertised and at an affordable price.
