A bolt cutter, sometimes called bolt cropper, is a tool used for cutting chains, padlocks, bolts and wire mesh. It typically has long handles and short blades, with compound hinges to maximize leverage and cutting force. A typical bolt cutter cuts material up to 5/8" thick. Because these tools are designed to defeat security measures, they become restricted on high law level worlds.
