Klein Tools 63842 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How hard a material will the Klein 63842 bolt cutter head cut?
Two capacity ratings apply. For soft and medium materials the limit is up to Brinell 300, Rockwell C31; for hard materials it is up to Brinell 400, Rockwell C42. Anything above those hardness figures is past what the forged alloy tool steel blades are rated to shear.
2) Is the Klein 63842 bolt cutter head insulated for live electrical work?
No. The 63842 head is NOT insulated and will NOT protect against electrical shock. De-energize before cutting, and wear approved eye protection whenever the tool is in use. If you need live-work protection, specify a 1000V insulated tool rather than this head.
3) Is it worth replacing just the head instead of buying a whole new 42-inch bolt cutter?
If the handles on your 63342 are straight and sound, the head is the wear part and swapping it restores the tool. The 63842 head weighs 6.03 lbs on its own and carries forged alloy tool steel blades, precision ground for cutting life. Replace the complete cutter instead if the handles are bent, cracked or the pivot has been sprung.
4) Can the blades on the Klein 63842 head be realigned if the cut goes off?
Yes, a single adjustment realigns the cutting edges. That means an electrician or maintenance tech can bring the jaws back into shear contact in the field rather than scrapping the head when the edges drift apart.
5) What size is the Klein 63842 replacement bolt cutter head for shipping or tool crib storage?
The head measures 8.10 in depth, 4.77 in width and 1.98 in height, and weighs 6.03 lbs. Small enough to stock as a spare on the truck or in a facility crib alongside the 63342 cutter it serves.
6) What is the Klein Tools part number for the 42-inch bolt cutter replacement head?
Order Klein Tools 63842. That is the manufacturer part number for the replacement head serving the 42-inch 63342 bolt cutter.
