Klein Tools 63118 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size bolt or rod can the Klein 63118 18-inch bolt cutter actually cut?
The Klein 63118 cuts up to 3/8 inch in soft and medium materials, and up to 1/4 inch in hard material. Hardness limits go with those numbers: up to Brinell 300 / Rockwell C31 on soft and medium, up to Brinell 400 / Rockwell C42 on hard. If the rod is harder than that, this 18-inch size is the wrong tool no matter what the diameter is.
2) Can I use the Klein 63118 bolt cutter on live electrical work?
No. The 63118 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, even though the fiberglass handles look like insulated tools. De-energize first, and wear approved eye protection. It is also not meant for cutting cable.
3) Are the jaws on the Klein 63118 replaceable, and what part do I order?
Yes. Replacement blades for the 63118 are Klein 63918. A lockplate reinforcement keeps the jaw bolts from loosening or turning so the jaws stay in alignment, which is what lets the cutting edges be renewed rather than scrapping the tool.
4) Will an 18-inch bolt cutter fit in a tool bag and can one person swing it?
Overall length is 18.25 inches (46.4 cm) and it weighs 3.65 lbs, so it handles as a one-hand-per-grip tool in a panel or ceiling space rather than a two-hand floor cutter. That size is the trade-off: easy to carry, but capacity tops out at 3/8 inch soft/medium. For heavier stock you want a longer-handled cutter.
5) Is this a center-cut bolt cutter, and can it make a flush 90-degree cut against a surface?
Center-cut, all-purpose jaws, forged from alloy tool steel and precision ground. The handles carry heavy vinyl grips with flat grip ends, which is what lets you push the ends down for a 90-degree cut where you need the cut square to the work.
6) Which Klein bolt cutter model is the 18-inch fiberglass-handle one?
Model 63118, Klein Tools part number 63118. Orange fiberglass handles, 18.25 inches overall. The matching replacement blade set is 63918.
