The WORKPRO 14-inch Bolt Cutter (Model: W017004A) features a drop-forged chrome molybdenum steel jaw with sandblasting treatment for durability. Its cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 56-60 HRC. Compound action, facilitated by hinges, transfers power to the jaw and cutting blades, generating greater cutting force for hard materials. Ergonomic handles are designed to prevent hand fatigue during prolonged use. This tool is suitable for cutting rods, bolts, rivets, wires, cables, and chains.

Product Markings: The tool itself is marked with "WORKPRO CR-MO 14"-350".
