Questions & Answers
Will this cut through a steel Master lock
Hi Laura. The 14" cutter isn’t meant for hardened Master Lock shackles. You can step up to a 24" or 30" Milwaukee bolt cutter or use a grinder/cut-off tool for a guaranteed cut.
Will these cut a cattle panel?
Yes, it will easily handle standard cattle panel wires, just cut near the hinge for extra force.
What do these symbols mean? I can’t get it open more than about 1/8” How do I open these more to use them! No instructions. Cashiers had to look up item See photos
Can you email us at Social.Media@MilwaukeeTool.com?

Will it cut through a chain bike lock?
A 14 in. bolt cutter with a 5/16 in. max cut capacity is designed for cutting soft to medium materials like chains, bolts, and rods up to 5/16 in. in diameter.
What can cut rebar?
Hi, Tedd. The 14" Bolt Cutter has a maximum cut capacity of 5/16" in soft/medium materials with a hardness of less than 31 HRC and a maximum hardness of 48 HRC. Rebar typically exceeds these specifications in both hardness and material strength, making this bolt cutter unsuitable for cutting rebar.
Will these bolt cutters cut 306 wire
Yes, the 14 in. Bolt Cutter with 5/16 in. Max Cut Capacity can cut 306 wire, as long as the wire's hardness is less than 48 HRC. This bolt cutter is designed to handle soft and medium materials with a maximum cut capacity of 5/16 inches.
Can anyone tell me if there is another adjustment to fully close the blades other than the bolt/lock nut on the Milwaukee 24 inch bolt cutter. It's not until I remove the bolt/lock nut that I can get the cutter to cut through the chainlink. Still a gap.
Hey Jim! Here are the steps you can follow to adjust the blades: 1. Locate the Adjustment Screws: The Milwaukee 24-inch bolt cutter has adjustment screws near the pivot point. These screws allow you to fine-tune the blade alignment. 2. Loosen the Lock Nut: Loosen the lock nut that secures the adjustment screw. 3. Adjust the Blades: Turn the adjustment screw to move the blades closer together. Make small adjustments and check the blade alignment frequently. 4. Tighten the Lock Nut: Once the blades are properly aligned and there is no gap, tighten the lock nut to secure the adjustment.
