H.k. Porter 0190FC Bolt Cutter 24 in Fiberglass Handles

Product Description

The H.K. PORTER 0190FC is a 24-inch bolt cutter built for all-purpose cutting on job sites and in the field. It features a round, center-cut head with knife-anvil style blades designed to shear medium and hard materials cleanly. The fiberglass handles are lightweight and strong, wrapped with rubber grips in yellow for secure handling. A lockplate keeps the jaws from loosening during use, maintaining consistent cutting geometry over the life of the tool. This bolt cutter is suited for electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, general contractors, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable hand-cutting tool for fasteners, chain, wire, and rod.

The 0190FC is designed for general-purpose cutting applications across residential, commercial, and industrial job sites. It handles medium-hardness materials up to 7/16 inch in diameter and hard materials up to 5/16 inch in diameter. The center-cut blade geometry makes it effective on bolts, chain links, wire rope, and similar stock. The 24-inch overall length provides enough handle leverage for efficient single-person operation without requiring additional tooling.
