The RIDGID 14228 Model S30 Heavy-Duty Bolt Cutter is a 31-inch cutting tool built to tackle tough materials with confidence. Hardened alloy steel jaws provide long-lasting sharpness, while the one-step internal cam mechanism keeps the blades aligned for maximum leverage and clean cuts.
This bolt cutter handles a wide range of materials: chains, bolts, screws, rods, wires, poles, and nets. Its 31-inch handles give you extra leverage and reach, reducing hand strain during difficult cuts. The comfortable grips are designed for a secure hold and controlled pressure.
The S30 offers a 1/2-inch capacity for soft metals, 7/16-inch for medium metals, and 3/8-inch for hard metals. Use these ratings as a guide—cutting larger or harder materials than recommended can damage the blades and create unsafe conditions.
Like any bolt cutter, the jaws of the RIDGID S30 can be replaced when they dull or chip. Use RIDGID-recommended replacement blades for this model to maintain proper alignment and cutting performance. If you're unsure how to replace the blades, refer to the owner's manual or contact RIDGID support. Keep the blades clean and lightly oiled to extend their life between replacements.
RIDGID's S30 design is simple, rugged, and field-serviceable. The internal cam mechanism ensures accurate blade alignment each time you close the handles, so you get reliable cutting power job after job.

Look for hardened jaws, a smooth cam mechanism, and comfortable handles. The RIDGID S30 checks all those boxes with a 31-inch reach for extra leverage.
Different metals have different hardness. Use the rated capacity for soft, medium, and hard metals to avoid damaging the jaws or workpiece.
When the jaws lose their edge, replace them with RIDGID S30 blades. Loosen the central pivot and retaining hardware, swap the jaws, and retighten to the recommended torque.
Wear safety glasses, keep workpieces stable, and use the full handle length to your advantage. Never cut with the jaws near the hinge—use the blade center.
Yes, replacement blades are available from RIDGID. Follow the instructions in the manual or contact RIDGID support for the correct part numbers and replacement steps.
It can cut chains, bolts, screws, rods, wires, poles, and nets within the rated capacities: 1/2 in soft, 7/16 in medium, and 3/8 in hard metals.
Keep the blades clean and lightly oiled, store the tool dry, and avoid cutting beyond rated capacities. Replace blades when they show signs of excessive wear or chipping.
The 31-inch handles provide good leverage while still fitting in most tool bags. The comfortable grips give you a solid hold even during extended use.
Cuts rebar like paper.
I use this to cut bolts and chain link fencing. It's heavy but does the job. The handles give good leverage.
This is a serious piece of equipment. The jaws are hardened and cut through 1/2-inch bolts easily. The internal cam mechanism makes it smoother than my old cutter. The 31-inch length gives plenty of leverage, though it takes a bit of muscle for thick stock. It's heavy, but I expected that. I've used it on rebar, padlocks, and fencing. It hasn't chipped or bent. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a reliable bolt cutter.
Too big for small hands, but works.
I cut hardened bolts which my cheap cutter struggled with. This one sails through.
Good cutting power. My only gripe is the grip is slippery.
Bought for farm use. It's essential for cutting fence wire. So far so good.
The compound action is real. My forearms aren't sore.
I've had it for a year. Still sharp. The handles are a little too far apart.
Excellent quality. Feels indestructible.
A bit pricey but worth it. It cuts through locks with ease.
