26 in Heavy-Duty Bolt Cutters

These 26 in heavy-duty bolt cutters use a centre-cut action and a one-step internal cam mechanism to keep the blades precisely aligned during every cut. They handle hard steel up to 5/16 in, medium steel up to 3/8 in and soft steel up to 7/16 in. Rubber grips provide a secure hold for trade and maintenance tasks.

Check your cutting requirements

Verify that the materials you need to sever fall within the stated maximum diameters for hard, medium and soft steel. Ensure you have enough swing space for the 26 in handle length and that a screw-type adjustment suits your workflow. Buyers who need larger cutting capacities or powered operation should look elsewhere.

Upgrading from smaller or manual cutters

The cam mechanism replaces the trial-and-error alignment of basic cutters, making the step up worthwhile when you cut bolt, rod or chain regularly and need repeatable, controlled cuts without blade drift.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Ridgid 14223 26 in. bolt cutters and is anything else needed to start cutting?

The package contains the 26 in. bolt cutters with rubber grips and the one-step internal cam mechanism already assembled. No extra parts or tools are required to begin cutting.

How do I decide which Ridgid bolt-cutter model to choose when the listing only shows the 14223 26 in. version?

This page offers a single 26 in. heavy-duty model (14223) with centre-cut action and a screw adjustment. Choose it when you need the cutting capacities listed below; other lengths or styles would be on separate pages.

What do the 5/16 in., 3/8 in. and 7/16 in. maximum-diameter ratings mean when I am actually cutting bolts or rod?

They are the thickest round stock the jaws can sever: 5/16 in. for hard steel, 3/8 in. for medium steel and 7/16 in. for soft steel. The centre-cut, cam-aligned blades keep the cut controlled on each size.
