About the RIDGID S14 15" Bolt Cutter with Alloy Steel Jaws for Soft, Medium, and Hard Metals - 14213
Precision and power for every cut!
The RIDGID 14213 S14 bolt cutter is a compact, heavy-duty tool engineered to deliver powerful, precise cuts in a manageable 15" form factor—ideal for professionals and DIYers working in tight spaces or overhead conditions. Its hardened alloy steel jaws are specifically designed to maintain sharpness and resist wear, allowing it to handle repetitive cuts through tough materials like bolts, wire mesh, screws, and rods without degrading performance.
Thanks to its one-step internal cam mechanism, this cutter ensures consistent blade alignment, which directly translates into clean, straight cuts every time—critical when you're working on visible hardware installations or need a flush cut to ensure proper fitment. This built-in precision also reduces the need for follow-up grinding or filing, saving time on the job.
The bolt cutter’s steel handles with rubber grips are designed for comfort and control, making it easier to generate cutting force without straining your hands or wrists. Whether you're trimming threaded rod under a sink, snipping wire fencing, or cutting fasteners during demo work, the ergonomic design reduces fatigue, especially in prolonged use.
At just 3 lbs, it’s lightweight enough to carry in a tool bag or climb ladders with, yet strong enough to tackle soft metals (15RC) up to 5/16" (7.9 mm), medium metals (31RC) up to 1/4" (6.4 mm), and hard metals (42RC) up to 3/16" (4.8 mm). In plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and general construction work, the RIDGID 14213 bolt cutter proves to be a versatile, dependable cutting tool that earns its place in every tool kit.
