Have you found a tool that effectively cuts barbed wire, as two pairs of bolt cutters have failed to do so?

Do you know what can cut through barbed wire? I’ve given two pairs of bolt cutters a shot, but no luck. Thanks for any suggestions.

Make sure your bolt cutters are properly adjusted to ensure smooth cutting.

I prefer linesman’s pliers. Quality can vary. The last ones I had didn’t have a cutter strong enough for nails and screws.

Rinder

Consider using fencing pliers.

Sophia Young

If you have a busy day ahead, opt for high-quality brand name tools. These wire cutters feature channels that make cutting wires a breeze, and they also have long handles for extra leverage.

Are you trying to break out of jail or nah?

Bypass wire cutters or a good pair of diagonal cutters will get the job done effectively.

A quality pair of side cutters can easily cut through barbed wire, which is not made of hardened steel. If your bolt cutters struggle with this task, there might be an issue with them.

Folkert Schüller

Linesman pliers, side cutters, and snips are all essential tools for cutting different materials. Bolt cutters may not be the best choice for wire or thin strands, as they work better on solid bolts.

I have my Leatherman tool.

There is a significant contrast among the various brands of cutting pliers. My Channellock brand diagonal cutters can easily slice through a 16-penny nail. In contrast, a budget side cutter will struggle to cut electric fence wire. If you’re going to invest, go for a high-quality option like Channellock, Knipex, or Klein.

Wireless 4-inch grinder!!

You have red, yellow, or green? 3-inch cut off tool.

Sid Poelen

I personally like using lineman pliers. I own knipex ones. They may be pricey, but they can cut through anything.

Anything goes… haha

Using a grinder would be the quickest fix.

Nicolas Harcourt

Just hop over and make a run for it.

Start with fencing pliers and then move up as needed. Do you have a power source nearby or are you fishing in your neighbor’s pond?

If you’re unsure, it’s best to leave the fence as it is.
