Ridgid 14223 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What diameter bolt can the Ridgid S24 bolt cutter actually cut?
The Ridgid S24 cuts hard metals up to 5/16 inch in diameter, and up to 42RC hardness. That covers most common bolts, threaded rod, and chain-link fence wire. Anything thicker than 5/16 inch, or harder than 42RC, needs a larger cutter with longer handles for more leverage.
2) Will the Ridgid 24 inch bolt cutter cut hardened padlock shackles or rebar?
Only if they fall inside the stated limits: 5/16 inch maximum diameter and 42RC maximum hardness. Many padlock shackles are hardened boron alloy above 42RC and a shackle thicker than 5/16 inch is out of range regardless of hardness. Rebar is also outside what this tool is rated for in anything but the smallest sizes, and a rebar cutter is the right tool there.
3) Do I need to adjust Ridgid S24 bolt cutter blades, and how?
Blade alignment is handled by a one-step internal cam mechanism, so bringing the jaws back into line is a single adjustment rather than shimming or re-setting bolts. That matters on a tool that gets used daily, since misaligned blades are what chews up cutting edges.
4) Are the rubber handles on these bolt cutters insulated for live electrical work?
No. The rubber grips on the S24 are for a secure hold and control during a cut, not an electrical rating. Treat the tool as uninsulated and de-energize before cutting anything electrical.
5) What part number do I order for the Ridgid 24 inch bolt cutter?
Order Ridgid catalog number 14223, model designation S24, in the 24 inch size. That is the only size configuration under this model.
6) Is a 24 inch bolt cutter long enough, or should I go to a 36 inch?
The 24 inch S24 gives enough leverage for its rated 5/16 inch, 42RC capacity and stays manageable in tight spots like panel work and overhead runs. If you are routinely cutting larger-diameter bolt, chain, or rod, step up to a longer-handled cutter instead of forcing this one past its rating.
