Product Description
Milwaukee 30 in. Bolt Cutter
Model Number: 48-22-4031
The Milwaukee 48-22-4031 is a 30 in. Bolt Cutter — a large-format manual cutting tool for cutting padlocks, chains, cable, rebar, bolts, and heavy-gauge wire where the 30 in. handle length provides the maximum available mechanical advantage for cutting through the hardest, largest-diameter materials that bolt cutters address in construction, security, demolition, and industrial work. The 30 in. handle length provides substantially more cutting leverage than 18 in. and 24 in. bolt cutters at the same hand force — reaching the higher cutting force needed for the thicker and harder materials that the shorter formats cannot cut through effectively with reasonable hand effort. Milwaukee forges the cutting blades from hardened steel at the jaw for the cutting edge hardness needed to cut through hardened shackles, high-strength chain, and heavy rebar without the blade face chipping or deforming that softer blade material experiences in demanding cutting applications.
The compound linkage mechanism in Milwaukee bolt cutters multiplies the handle force into the blade cutting force at the jaw for efficient cutting through material within the tool's rated capacity. The 30 in. format is the professional choice when the 18 in. and 24 in. sizes lack the mechanical advantage for the materials being cut — hardened padlocks, hardened chain links, and the maximum bolt cutter work that the large format specifically addresses. Always verify that the material being cut falls within the tool's rated capacity — attempting to cut materials above the rated capacity risks jaw damage and uncontrolled tool behavior.
