Review: Solid cutters for most jobs. - These are the smallest bolt cutters you can get. They are designed for smaller jobs. I decided to try if they could cut solid steel link chain. The picture speaks for itself. It took multiple attempts but I managed to slowly cut through this material clearly designed for the larger pairs. I therefore think that with a bit of effort, they can cut through pad locks. Was going to buy the larger set but realised these will do the job with a bit of elbow grease. Just look at the jaws of mine. Not even dented the slightest. I am well impressed.
Review: GREAT QUALITY and Engineering - Small and compact item absolutely fantastic and all I would expect from German engineering

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I cut short the drawer’s knob screw with it?**
A: I think you would damage the thread if it’s not yet in place and if it’s poking through, you wouldn’t be able to cut it flush. As far as it’s abilities to cut, if it fits in the jaws, it’ll cut it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome
*by C***S on 22 March 2023*

Can’t believe they are as good as they are for the size. They cut anything up to about 3.5mm including hardened screws!! Anything bigger than that I’d use my angle grinder so the fact they are well priced, comfortable, strong asf and haven’t folded or chipped, well impressed. No wonder they are an Instagram favourite. Recommend highly
