Quite useful for neutering rapists, slowly.

Also, truth be told, I'm used to scissors where you push the handles towards the centre not pull them apart....
Oh and @Steamy Tom, will post a pic of what needed to be cut. Women don't have big muscley arms like men you knowhad to cut a 2m x 2m piece out of this fence.
@LaraC gets it. Those long handles are great for leverage.

Yeah it would make work like that super easy.
Even for a woman.

Not so much of the "even" please

As a second thought you can now reach your toe nails with ease, not necessary to bend down into crouching and back-breaking positions.

The tool isn't really suitable for delicate jobs but you're welcome to try it on your own toes.As a second thought you can now reach your toe nails with ease, not necessary to bend down into crouching and back-breaking positions.

Great idea, my elephant-like toenails need extra heavy duty stainless steel clippers, those tinny chinese ones usually just bend.As a second thought you can now reach your toe nails with ease, not necessary to bend down into crouching and back-breaking positions.

I'm perplexed that anyone would even need a video to use bolt cutters...

Hahahaha I know it sounds funny but all those screws looked as if it needed adjusting, especially that screw sticking out, also trying to pull the handles apart was difficult so I thought it would break.
At least we've all had a good laugh.

You are not incorrect. in the event of the cutters being worn or needing resharpening, those various bolts and screws are used to realign the 'jaws' of cutter.

Never had to adjust a bolt cutter.
I have big brother to the one you have.
900 mm thereabouts. Cuts anything you can imagine. Now about 40 years old.

Not the easiest project but there was a shrub that wound itself through the wires. I'll bet the one you've got is stronger than any available today.
