## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it cut a master padlock?**
A: I tried it on a ABUS 64TI/40 Titalium Aluminum Alloy Padlock and the Nano Protect Steel Shackle and the padlock just laughed at me while putting indentations on the bolt cutter blades.

**Q: How come the 8-inch capacity is 3/16" and the 12-inch is 5/32"? 3/16" is bigger than 5/32", correct?**
A: If you look at the pictures the 8" has a slightly different jaw design than the rest of the line. You'd have to take some measurements but the jaw geometry is probably slightly different allowing a larger opening (if scaled down proportionally like the rest of the line, it'd only have a 1/8" opening which isn't too useful. For wires or bolts that thin you could use any other cutting tool as well, so they probably had to change things up to make an 8-inch sized cutter useful.

**Q: would these cut through a padlock?**
A: It of course depends on the size of the padlock and the type of steel, but I do not think the 8-inch Tekton would do the job. These are fairly small.  I have a "big brother" to the 8-inch Tekton and it might not even be enough. Look at the product description; many times the recommended size/diameter of wire/steel rod that the tool can cut is listed. Sorry that I could not provide a better answer.

**Q: Would the 12" work for cutting Closetmaid shelving racks?**
A: No.  Even standing on and jumping slighting on the end of the 12" bolt cutter didn't work.  I bought a cheap 24" bolt cutter and it made easy work out of Closetmaid shelves.  Get the right tool for the job and the 24" bolt cutter was the right tool for the Clostmaid shelves.
