Jet 587742 Bolt Cutter with Black Head 42 Inches

Product Description

The JET 587742 is a 42-inch bolt cutter designed for cutting hardened bolts, chain links, padlocks, wire rope, and rods in demanding trade and industrial environments. Built with a black head finish, this cutter is suited for electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, and general contractors who need reliable cutting force on heavy-gauge fasteners and security hardware. At 20 pounds, the tool provides the mass needed to generate high cutting leverage without sacrificing control. The 42-inch handle length maximizes mechanical advantage, reducing the effort required to cut through hardened stock.

The JET 587742 is appropriate for commercial and industrial jobsites as well as utility and maintenance applications. The extended 42-inch frame length makes it well suited for cutting larger-diameter chain, thick wire rope, and heavy bolts where shorter cutters fall short. Trade professionals in electrical, plumbing, and general construction routinely use tools of this class for cutting locking hardware, anchor bolts, and threaded rod during installation or demolition work.

Key Features

• 42-inch handle length for maximum mechanical cutting leverage
• Black head finish provides a corrosion-resistant, low-glare working surface
• 20-pound tool weight contributes to cutting force and stability during use
• Designed for cutting hardened bolts, chain, padlocks, wire rope, and rod stock
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool compatible with standard bolt cutter accessory handles and jaw sets sized for 42-inch class cutters.

Installation Notes

Bolt cutters require no installation but should be inspected before each use for blade alignment, jaw condition, and handle integrity. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when cutting hardened materials, as fragments can eject at high velocity. Ensure the workpiece is secured or supported before cutting to prevent unexpected movement. Follow applicable OSHA and jobsite safety guidelines when operating cutting tools.
