The bolt cutter that was able to cut through the tested materials and deliver the cleanest cut received all 5 possible points, while the second-best received a 0.5-point deduction, the third-best received a 1-point deduction, and so on. If two mini bolt cutters performed equally, they received the same score. Although most mini bolt cutters weigh less than one pound, the handheld nature of this tool lends the weight to play a factor in usability. If the product is too heavy, your hand can tire after consistent use. If the cutter is too light, it won’t be able to deliver enough force to effectively cut a wide range of materials. Adjustability While we tested each product’s ability to cut through various-sized materials, we also paid attention to both the comfort and grip strength each mini bolt cutter’s handle provided. We noted the number of times each bolt cutter slipped during testing and compared the comfort level provided by each bolt cutter’s handle. Quality of Cut The mini bolt cutter with handles that slipped the least during testing received all 2.5 possible points, while the second-best received a 0.2-point deduction, the third-best received a 0.4-point deduction, and so on. If two bolt cutters performed the same, they received the same score.A mini bolt cutter needs to have an ergonomic and comfortable grip to generate the force required to break bolts, wires, and other materials. A mini bolt cutter with a non-slip and easy-to-grip handle will make it easier to generate force and use over long periods. Quality of Cut Adjustability is important because it lets you effectively cut materials of various sizes. Bolt cutters with adjustable blades will provide more control during use and cut through materials of greater widths. Mini bolt cutters are typically adjusted by screws located at the front of each product’s blade. Diameter Capacity

Quality of Cut Note: During testing, no mini bolt cutter was able to cut through the ¼-inch hex bolt, which led to its removal from each product’s overall score. Grip

Cutting through metal using a bolt cutter requires a significant amount of grip strength and effort. To help ease the strain on your hands, an ergonomic handle is a necessity for a mini bolt cutter.
