Definitely need a heavier tool than this to cut through a coat hanger... this is for electrical work, not cutting through steel.

These will Easily cut through a coat hangar like butter. They have shorter handles so you don't get as much leverage. I use these to cut guitar strings. Super high carbon content seems almost like carbide for holding an edge. The steel for the cutting edges is the best.Super hard for cutting through guitar strings again and again. I have one hundred restrings , 600 nickel plated steels strings cut and these look like new and cut like new. 10/10 EXCELLENT

I would get a larger pair of plyers. A 6 or 8 inch pair would do the job best.

I purchased mine to use to cut mandarine oranges. I have used them to cut a 1/4 inch branch but have not tried anything as big as wire. I honestly do not know if they would cut but probably. I do not have much strength in my hands so I could not even test them.

I would be cautious about cutting thick coat-hanger wire. It will cut coat hanger wire that is thinner(easily flexed) - but I would guess that thicker/stiff coat-hanger wire might damage it.

If you really need to cut allot of coat hangers I would buy the Xuron 2193 Wire Shears. Xuron 2193 Wire ShearThey are made to cut really hard wire all day long with much greater ease than these Irwin cutters. And they are still fairly compact at only 5.45" long. Just a great tool. If you need a really square cut the Xuron 2193F fits the bill. More costlier though. Xuron 2193F Hard Wire and Music Wire Cutter, with Retaining Clips

Yup its very easy to cut. There should be a grommet at a around 40 feet. So no problem.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.

I believe the measurement is from the inside diameter of the ring that installs on the ceiling. It would be better to get in the attic,to move the insulation , so it doesn't get every where when you make your ceiling cut. It's something you don't want to spread in your home. Wear a mask in the attic,and when you make ceiling cut

I have set mine to cut 1/8" birch plywood. I have even cut less to cut in a area to lay decorative copper wire. I do not know off the top of my head the max depth. I do not know if it will cut the short side of a 2X4. The gauge is easy to set! I like mine. I do say that you need to use it a few times to get used to its quirky way of always needing to plunge cut everything.

No problem to cut, but what are your plans to keep the steel shell from puckering after you cut the connecting end off? In any event, it will cut the steel easily but if the bottom contains an internal wood frame, it may be a little smokey as the blade has no hook angle as a pure wood blade does.

YES - However tool is not easy to use - you can cut and waste a lot of cable if not careful - I use it to score the outer jacket only - I tried both # 5 & 6 cable - hope this helps - I cannot overstress the "be careful" part - you may have limited cable to work with

With a little ingenuity, I've got it working with Craftsman, and it should work with with any other blower. Take the first straight tube (one with the blind cut), and fit it over the round nozzle of your blower. Put a 3.5" hose clamp on it. Then put a hose clamp (4" for my blower) on the connection of the nozzle to its pipe, since this turns out to be the weak spot. This skips the lower elbow but with a backpack blower like mine there already is a flexible elbow (and I've been using it from the roof, so I didn't need that elbow in the first place). And if you really want, you can probably put a similar cut on the lower elbow and fit it over the nozzle in the same way.

The saw will cut a 4x4 but is just short of cutting a 2x6 in one pass unless you are willing to roll the board up at the end of the cut. Rolling the board is a practice common among carpenters but it is not accurate and IS NOT SAFE.

I believe both are the same strength and gauge wire (though I didn't go back to verify that just now). I have an obnoxiously and impressively smart and strong Dalmatian/Border Collie mix who has completely destroyed 3 other crates of various brands and design (plastic and wore alike), but she hasn't done anything to this one yet. Granted, she's a little older (4) now and we don't crate her as long as we did before. It seems like the sturdiest option I've found (unless you want to spend a fortune on those hardcore metal cages/boxes like they use for hunting dogs, etc). I am not sure how (or if) the latches/locking devices differed between the 2... The design on the Select is simple, but mine are stiff, so They definitely don't easily fly open. It isn't perfect, I'm sure, but it's definitely better than any other option I found.

no i wouldn't cut it...i would contact the company and they should be able to help you find the right one.

Matt, sorry I can't speak to your Delta comparison request. I own a 10" Craftsman contractors saw. The old kind with lots of heavy steel, not plastic. This fence fit my saw very easily. I've been using it for a couple of years now and love it. It was easy to install, easy to align and is still very accurate after this use. I think on the initial install I had to drill a couple of holes in my table for proper attachment because i had an extra steel table extension but that was not diilfficult. So, overall I think this is a high quality product for a reasonable price compared to its competition. Hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions if needed.

Well, I assume you mean can you file nails with it. Yes, I have turned the rpm's down low and used it with a sanding band on my Staffordshire Terriers. It is bulkier than the small Craftsman cordless Dremel tool I bought years ago to use on my Wire Haired Terriers. If all you want to do is file nails, I would go with that size tool, not this one. This is the size of a small soda bottle. The one good thing about this over the Craftsman is the ability to control the rpm's. When the rpm's are too high, they make the nail get hot really fast and that's not only painful for the dog, but they get really nasty about having their nails filed in the future. I know from experience. :-( Well, I assume you mean can you file nails with it. Yes, I have turned the rpm's down low and used it with a sanding band on my Staffordshire Terriers.

This is a hack saw that is used for metal. Since you need one to cut light weight wood such as bass wood, poplar or pine check out the Stanley 20-221 mini utility saw. This kind of saw would be good for wood probably less than 1/2" thick. If you want to cut thicker wood check out the cross cut saws. They all are rated not just by length but by the number of points (PTS). The more points the finer the cut, it also means it will take longer to cut through the wood. If you are doing modeling type of work you can use several different types of saws but if you just want to cut straight a dovetail saw may help, there are also gent saws a smaller version. If need to cut circular patterns a coping saw or the lighter weight fret saw may be what you need. I realize that you only asked a simple question and I, obviously, gave a very long answer but I don't know exactly what you want to cut so I apologize. It just may be the first two options should be the choice to make.

The saw itself had no problem cutting 1" ID steel tubing with a wall thickness of 1/8". The cut was neat enough for what we wanted to do with it (re-sizing an air gun piston). When it comes to cutting flat metal, the saw has no problem for any reasonable thickness (less than 3/16) that I have attempted. That said, 1/16 or thinner tends to warp if you are just trying to rip a piece without bracing the sides of the cut. Now, I keep saying the "saw has no problem", because the commonly available Bosch blades don't last too long. HOWEVER, I wasn't going heavy enough with the oil (I assume), and I think the blades were overheating (warping and blackening).... So to sum up, the saw is not the problem, with the proper technique and blade the saw cuts metal of a thickness less than 3/16 quickly, and acceptably cleanly. May not apply to stainless steel though, no experience with stainless. -Edit- Remember to keep this saw spotless if you are cutting metal; it will crud up like crazy if you throw it aside with metal filings all over it. This is a quality tool.

I have the same question because I have a tool that works just fine with cat 5 cables, but with cat 6 STP I need something that will handle the thicker jacket. If I force the cable into the recess to strip off the outside, a traditional cutter will cut through the wires. Since the tool should be for both cutting, stripping the jacket and crimping, one that can squeeze the connector alone doesn't make it the right tool.
