It's cool, but if you put the nut on the bolt before chopping off the end, job done.

A bit expensive, but maybe not for those who work in the business. (?).
Cheap tools can sux. Nothing like snapping off a tap flush to ruin your day. Personally I'd use a small file instead, and grind it smooth around that side. Takes a few seconds more. Cutting edges always seem to catch and bounce when not perfect. Last edited by john70t; 10-23-2014 at 09:20 AM.. |

+1 to john70t
Unless you are cutting all-thread all day a more general tool (grinder, file) is faster.

If I was cutting a lot of threaded rod, That would be the nuts. Need, no. Want, sure.

+1 on "Need, no. Want, sure".
I do as techweenie, I put a nut on the bolt before chopping or damaging the thread, then unscrew the nut to repair the thread. If not enough then I use a file or grinder. Last edited by Jose_JGC; 10-24-2014 at 04:10 AM.. |

Get off my lawn!

When that thing is available at the local big box store for $10 or $20 I might get one. It is cool, but until mass production brings the price down I will pass. I will keep doing the hard way for now.

it's neat but I just use a benchtop grinder and a steady hand.

gotta have one. I never need one, but I want one to keep around in my men's tool chest. it always happens when the bolt is somewhere in the attic or a place where you can't really get at.

Cool idea but how would you sharpen the cutting blades after they get blunt?

I'd just go out and buy a new bolt.

I've seen something like that before.
But it was for wood. They call it a pencil sharpener.
