      A:  Yes, a small screw, but you would likely be better off using a hack saw.

          Answer This Question

          A:  Hi Edd. They do have a 3/8 capacity but cable is likely to behave differently than bolts with this tool. A hacksaw may be more ideal. Our Tool Solutions team may be able to give you a clearer answer at tekton.com/support.

              Q:will this cut a lock off our shed. my son lost our key. g

              Answer This Question

              A:  Hi. Depends how big the lock is, but my guess is no. The 5th product photo shows how wide the jaws can open. This model only cuts up to 5/32 inch, which is quite small. To be sure, I’d recommend our largest bolt cutter cutter: model 3421, 36 inch bolt cutter.

                  A:  Hello. This item is made in China. We provide country of origin information for all of our products, but Home Depot doesn’t always include it on the page. It can always be found on our website as well.

                    A:  Hi Carrie. Yes, they will. These bolt cutters have a 5/32 inch (.156 inch) capacity. They should easily cut your 1/8 inch (.125 inch) screws.
