These bolt cutters are extremely useful. I was helping a friend move recently and they needed to open and clear out their shed but in the hustle and bustle forgot the combination. I ordered a pair of these and brought them over to help out. The cutters cut through a masterlock combination lock like butter with no real effort on my part. It took only one attempt and the lock was cut in half and could be removed. Also, it should be noted that there was no sign that I had used them. The blades looked brand new, and no chipping or marks were present. Because of this, and since this is the type of tool the average homeowner will be using once in a blue moon, I am sure they will last me the rest of my life.
HOWEVER, that being said, they are EXTREMELY heavy. It says on the listing when I bought them that they weighed 13 pounds. I do not believe this, as they feel more like 20 or 25 pounds. They are extremely heavy, and that is important to know, especially if you lack upper body strength. For most women or individuals who simply lack the strength, simply carrying these will prove to be a hassle, let alone putting them to work. However, for how big they are and how much pressure they use to break locks, the weight is justified. Just be aware of their weight before you purchase them so you know what you are getting into.
In short, VERY effective. VERY heavy.
