The US made Bolt Cutters range in sizes from 14 inch to 42 inch. The smaller bolt cutters perform “Soft & Medium Cutting Max. Capacities of: 5/16” (8 mm) and the larger bolts cutters have a Hard Material Cutting Max. Capacities of: 1/2” (13 mm)”.
Although Klein Tools is dedicated to US production, some of their products are foreign sourced. Due to the fact that it is hard to verify the US made origin of their products (product origin not represented on description page), you will have to call before product purchase. Always make sure the product you wish to buy is American made.
