I have those as well, only issue I have had is the grips come loose. I took them off, cleaned off the old adhesive, and sprayed them with hairspray then reinstalled. Haven’t had any issues since.
@@rtz549 He cut the lock with a hacksaw in about 1 minute in a later video. That is instant for anyone whose job is not cutting locks. I think this bolt cutter is more for burglars who prefer a quiet working environment; Or, government employees who don't give a XXXX for damaging the tools.
You said they don’t warranty the jaws? I snapped one of the jaws in half, well my father did during an emergency scenario while truck driving and I put it on the counter they said grab a new one, and I was out the door
Hunt for a HK Porter at flea markets and garage sales and you are set for life with some of the best equipment available, plus they sell new jaws for everything they make.
Years back I bought them on sale because they were too inexpensive not to. only used them a few times but found they did not really cut much if any better than my 36" bold cutters? You would think with the size and heft these would cut better than the smaller ones ( those were off shoe bolt cutters I bought 30 + years ago so not a name brand either). My point is that for the size they are not as good as a good set of smaller bolt cutters ( for the most part) I think these have an extra 1/8" capacity over the smaller ones? The one time you need them they are worth having!
@@SamSamuylik @Non-active Channel Ha Ha Ha yes I bought them just because they were cool to have also and also establish my male dominance on my street by having the largest pair on the block. lol
1050 is not the steel,it's the jaw size. (The max size diameter bolt size in millimeters that the jaws can handle) You can fit a 1/2 bolt but it is not recommended. My experience with the Pittsburgh bolt cutters is the jaws are pretty hard , I broke a pair of 36 inch . The jaw cracked after about 50 cuts on galvanized 3/8 chain. Other guys have gotten years of heavy cutting on there's. I then got a pair of 42 inch like yours . I have cut 1/2 U locks and Manny 3/8 inch master locks and all sizes of chain . If you get a good pair ,heat treated 56 to 58 Rockwell C. They will last a very long time. Most bolt cutter jaws are made from A2. And heat treated just under 60 HRC. I did disassemble mine and use high pressure grease on all the pivot points and aligned everything perfectly. I am 230 pounds and can bounce on the handle till I work through a 1/2 Kriptonight U lock. Very little blade damage but it did leave a little spot of day light between the jaws that mostly adjusted out. BTW: 1050 and 1045 are great steel choices for making a trailer ball . FYI: 1050 mm = .41.33xxx of an inch or just over 3/8 of an inch. 3/8 is .375 of an inch. So at .500 of case hardened steel, I abused them, and they survived it pretty well.
Nice Armstrong Brigantine commercial sheet flooring! That stuff is tough to install, but really long lasting. Good choice. Oh, BTW, thanks for the bolt cutter vid!
I know I have a better bolt cutter in my H.K. Porter #3 bolt cutter that was made in Boston, Massachusetts! I know they good because my dad worked there in the 1960's and 1970's!

What kind of hairspray? I've got a cowlick that nothing seems to keep down.
flick22601 maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline!
will this cut through a 50mm brinks lock?
O-sure, go rite through it 🤣😃🤣
Why is the cutter needed? Isn't hacksaw a lot more affordable? Can you show how long it will take you to saw through the lock?
For speed. It's Instant.

Wei Su it's also good for cutting chain to length.

I use mine everyday to cut steel container seals about 3-5 times a day it’s never let me down
Very useful to have one of these in case of emergency!
What’s does the number 1050 mean on the bolt cutters
Will this cut through a 14mm hardened boron steel padlock shackle?
no manual bolt cutters offer enough leverage for a shackle that size of a true high grade lock alloy. a hydraulic bolt cutter might even fail.
Angle grinder can.
how does it work on a vault ???
I lost the key to my storage lock. the lock only cost $8.00. my 2 ft bolt cutter won't cut butter
Do the handles have a strong synthetic rubber smell? I once bought a tool from Harbor Freight that I couldn't keep indoors.

Probably true, but I only bought them because they are maffis and cool to have🤣

The 1050 is not the steel. Its the length, 1050 mm / 42 inches. The 900mm / 36" cutters.
Interesting review. They seem to be a strong set of bolt cutters, especially for the price.

Hi, are Eclipse bolt cutters any good? I'm planning on buying a 42 inch one
@@juanbaclavab
I don't know , it all depends on the hardness of the jaws and if the jaws can be replaced.
Thank you. Thank you for changing the ending music thank you again
I love those shoes!
I'm pretty sure I saw that pipe wrench that you were talking about not too long ago, believe it was only 36in though
I have the 42 inch ones and the 36 inch ones.
That 1050 is the length in mm

I hav them, got 3 good cuts outa them so far, not bad for the price.
Just bought myself a pair, just because it's cool. That flooring looks familiar...my high-school had it.
That stainless shackle in practice would be nearly bolt cutter proof assuming it was installed somewhere that the ground couldn't be used for leverage

They are "surprisingly cheap" because they're made in China, along with just about everything else at Harbor Freight. Just something to be aware of.

those shows look comfy
ensile
And this is why I have to spend over 100.00 dollars on a lock and chain. Stupid
Many reasons why you have to do that.
You can spend $1000 on a lock and chain I can still get through then without this.
