I made this with Knipex bolt cutters. Cut each ring, 12 and 14 gauge steel wire. http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss75/ALOrihuela/0128132353_zps24e2594b.jpg Thread link?

Can't find it now. This is just for fun. Butted maille, not riveted like traditionally made, but not as labor intensive. This is a good place for patterns and instructions. http://www.bladeturner.com/guide/material.html http://www.bladeturner.com/pattern/chain.html |

better suited for cutting wire This. Don't blame HF because you decided to Mongo the tiny lockcutters beyond their stuctural ability. No mechanical object is magic. Lets see a picture of what you cut? |

I used an HF bolt cutter to make an AK riveting tool. This! I got my last trunion rivet smashed when it broke. Threw it in the trash. Thankfully it gave up the ghost after I was done with it. |

What did you try to cut with it? I'm withholding judgment until a pic is posted.

I used my HF bolt cutters every day for cutting security bolts, seals and locks off intermodal trailers.
The really good padlocks would dent the jaws a little. I cut a 3/8 grade 8 bolt one time that the guy standing beside me saw go over the top of the 2 story building across the street. That one put a little flat spot on the jaws. |

I have one of their angle grinders that I bought back around 2004, I use it all the time, the wheel is getting worn down and I haven't been able to kill it yet. I've gotten my $18.00 worth out of it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It took you 10 years to wear out one grinding wheel?

Waiting for update when HF angle grinder shorts out and causes electrical fire. The red grinder, which is frequently on sale for $19.99, is a beast. The dark blue paddle-switch one has been good, but I haven't owned it for as long, so I don't have the experience to say the same about it. Each grinder also comes with a spare set of brushes. There's nowhere to get another set though, so replace them once, then you have to throw the tool away. |
