Olympia Tools 39-024 Bolt Cutter 24"

Overview

Olympia 39-024 - a bolt cutter.

At 24 inches long and just over 5 pounds, the 39-024 falls into the same size and weight class as long-handled bolt cutters, where extended handles supply the leverage needed to shear through hardened wire, chain or small padlocks. Olympia does not list a jaw capacity or wire gauge rating in this data, so buyers cutting anything beyond light material should size the tool against the specific item first. The alloy steel build points to a tool meant for repeated mechanical stress rather than delicate work.

• 24-inch alloy steel cutter
• Olympia brand
• Weighs about 5.19 pounds

Who it's for

Fits users who need a heavy, long-handled cutter for jobs like chain, wire fencing or padlocks around the home or property. Not the right pick for precision cutting or for jobs needing a stated maximum cutting diameter, since that spec is absent here.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 24-inch handles provide mechanical leverage, letting the jaws generate more cutting force than a short-handled tool of similar weight. Alloy steel is chosen for cutting jaws because it holds an edge and resists deformation under repeated stress better than plain carbon steel, though the listing does not state a hardness rating or a maximum wire or bolt diameter.
