Anybody have trouble with bolt seals?

Make receiver do it.

 

I've grabbed them with vice grips and just bent them back and forth till they break. You could get a rechargable grinder

 

this would be a much better option, and of course to have an extra battery as well as a box of cutting disks...

i'd check first with maybe Harbor Freight. then go searching for more expensive brands.

to me, it all depends on how many times in a year, i'd be using that tool, to determine how high a price i'd want to pay

 

get the longer handled bolt cutters, buy a replacement set of jaws too...no batteries, no abrasive disc to stock.

heaver than the short handles but much more powerful

 

Cuts like butter.

 

They are moving to a seal that looks like a bolt but it actually wire rope inside the plastic wrap, much harder to cut through.

 

I will not allow my drivers to cut any seals, I just dealt with this the past week with a broker who refused to pay when a receiver didn't want to have their people to break the seal and my driver told them if they don't, it goes back to the shipper. They finally broke the seal and unloaded the truck.

 

Cuts wire rope like butter. No effort required.

 

Is it air operated off the truck air supply?
