Essentially just a small version of the large bolt cutters used to cut big things, they&#8217;re good for cutting small things very easily.<\/p>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t use them every day, when I have something I need to cut that my side-cutters aren&#8217;t getting through easily, these are there and work so easily. In testing I&#8217;ve found they cut coat hanger wire effortlessly, and I can even cut brake line.<\/p>\n<p>In my regular I may not use these much, but they do their job perfectly when I need them. Five lug nut rating from me.<\/p>\n<p>These are also available with more padded grips.
