Overview
The KUROKIN BC11-230-BG is a 9-inch aluminum mini bolt cutter made for electricians, installers, and contractors who need real cutting capacity without the weight of a steel-handled cutter. It is suited for repetitive cutting of steel wire, rod, and similar material on active jobsites, including overhead and ladder work.
This cutter handles both soft steel (HRB80) and medium-hard steel (HRC20) up to Ø0.16" (4.0 mm), with center-cut jaws that meet in the middle for a clean, square cut. The rounded, anodized aluminum T-handles keep the tool light at 9.8 oz (277 g) and are shaped to stay comfortable even under heavy hand pressure, helping reduce fatigue over long work sessions. A tether hole accepts carabiners up to Ø0.47" (12 mm) for safer work at height. Finished in the signature KUROKIN black and gold, it is made in Japan to modern Japanese quality standards.

- Wear safety glasses when striking, cutting, or prying with any tool.
- Inspect each tool before use and do not operate if damaged.
- Use all tools only for their intended purpose and within their specified limits.
- Do not use on live electrical circuits unless the tool is certified to IEC 60900 / VDE 1000V and marked accordingly.
- Only tools carrying that certification are rated for work near energized conductors.
- A plastic handle, resin shaft cover, or internal insulating component is not electrical insulation and will not protect you from shock.
- Always disconnect power and verify the circuit is de-energized with a tester before working on electrical equipment.
