Overview

The OX Pro Bolt Cutters are a 900mm pair built for cutting bolts, rod and reo on formwork and concrete jobs. The hardened, heat treated alloy jaws are rated to cut HRC40 material, which covers the tie wire, coil rod and formwork bolts that hold a pour together. The long 900mm handles give the leverage to cut cleanly without a second person or a power tool.

The jaws are fully adjustable and replaceable, so the cutter can be tightened as the jaws wear and the jaws can be swapped instead of retiring the whole tool. For a formworker or concreter, that makes the bolt cutters a long lived piece of site kit rather than a consumable.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Cutting steel throws sharp ends, so wear leather rigger gloves and safety glasses. Use the cutters alongside a tie wire twister for the reo work, and see the Concreting Tools range for the rest of the concreting kit. Adjust the jaws to a light contact gap before each job so the cut is clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the 900mm bolt cutters cut?

The jaws are rated to cut HRC40 material, which covers bolts, rod, reo, tie wire and chain up to the jaw capacity. The 900mm handles give the leverage for a clean cut through the hardened material that a smaller pair would struggle with.

Are the jaws adjustable and replaceable?

Yes. The jaw gap can be adjusted so the cutting edges meet cleanly as they wear, and the jaws themselves are replaceable. The adjustment is a screw mechanism on the head, so you can set the gap on site in a couple of minutes without special tools. That means the tool is not thrown away when the cutting edge goes, you fit new jaws and keep the handles and the leverage.

Why are they designed for formworkers?

Formwork and concrete work means cutting tie wire, coil rod, formwork bolts and reo every day. These cutters are built for that work with the length for leverage, jaws rated for the steel grades used in formwork, and the adjustable, replaceable jaws that keep the tool working on site.
