Today we’re going to test out the Ryobi 18V 3/8” Cordless Bolt Cutter. This thing seriously looks like a Transformer’s ripped off appendage!
The Tool
Of course the first thing that I wanted to do when I saw a warning label not to stick your fingers between the blades, was to stick my finger between the blades. But I didn’t because I’m a grown-up now. I have not gotten to use a lot of Ryobi’s tools, as they generally do not perform well in professional environments. So I’m glad I got to test something out that I could possibly use in the field. Electricians use bolt cutters a lot, but generally they’re for smaller machine screws and we need the threads to be usable once we cut them. But sometimes you forget the combination to the lock on all your ladders or materials and you need to get into them so having a bolt cutter that you don’t have to squeeze could be an awesome thing.
Upon opening the package the tool itself feels extremely durable. It does not feel like it’s under-built. In fact it feels well engineered and ergonomically efficient. I went out and bought a few different bolts to try to cut (you can see how the tool performs in the video above). The first bold I tried cutting was a 1/4“ x 20 threads per inch bolt. It had absolutely no problem cutting through this bolt however the teeth have a 1/16” gap between them. When the job is close to done, so the jaws did not completely cut through the bolt. When I pulled the bolt out the threads were mangled and I had to bend and break the bolts tip off that I had just cut. This is a little disappointing as it seems like a very messy way to cut the bolt so I tried again several times with the same results.
