- How to cut to shorten a screw or a bolt in just seconds.
Bolt cutter: amzn.to/3KyDKL2
You might be able to use a wire cutter to cut screws without damaging the threads. The problem is that I’m not strong enough to cut a screw using a wire cutter.
But anyone can use a bolt cutter to cut a screw in just seconds. The bigger the bolt cutter, the thicker the screws you can easily cut. A useful tip is to put a couple of nuts on the screw first, cut the screw, and then screw off the nuts. This will fix any damage to the thread.

Much appreciation for posting this up. I'm in the middle of making some spare bolts for a folding bike and I was completely lost on how to cut these bolts properly. Hacksaw no more😂😂😂
I feel like such a moron for not thinking to use bolt cutters to cut the damn bolt😭🤦♂️. You did the lords work with this vid
Same here😂😂😂
This was the EASIEST thing I've done ALL DAY! Thank you for the genius tip.
I just went to Lowe's, which is 35 minutes away, and my screws were too long. Thank you for your help with solving my problem!
As a member of the Weak Hands Club, thanks for showing a few different methods.
LOL! I really need to sign up for that club!
The ASMR in this is immaculate lmao
Facts
😂
Would you like to come round to my place and we could perhaps boof some jenkum I have prepared and order some pizza
my exact thoughts
The "wire cutter" crimper tool is mean to cut aluminum or brass screws (used for electrical boxes) - not the stainless or zinc machine screw you are cutting in the vid.
Great video, thank you! I have bolt cutters and never thought to use them. Usually it's my Dremel, but this method looks much easier!
Good tip, using a metal file to deburr your bolt end would be be a good idea too.
Crazy I never knew those holes on the wire cutters could be used for screws , thanks
I would not recommend
The wire cutter trick worked perfectly!
Ohhh my god WHHHHHY did i not think of this??? You are a bloody LEGEND! Thanks.
You are a legend… so simple but worked perfectly!!!
Thank you so much! I’m using anchors for a dry wall and had to cut the provided chrome screws to fit into the anchor.
I was about to use a pair of dykes. I'm glad you suggested the bolt cutters!
Nice video, short, sweet and to the point. Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much - so quick and easy. Will try it now.
Thank you for sharing this information with us, simple demo of practical gold! ❤
Very helpful, bought some bolt cutters. Thank you
👍
I had to return a set of 8" bolt cutters to Lowe's a while back, I had to cut through a bolt and could not squeeze the arms together at all! What did I do wrong! Was it the wrong size cutters? If I try again with 14" would I be more successful? Would really appreciate feedback. Thank you. Really interesting video.
Judith, the longer the bolt cutter, the easier it will be to cut because the longer the arms of the cutter allow more leverage to be created and, therefore, more cutting power even if you aren't strong enough to squeeze very hard.
Nice video .the down side of using bolt cutters is it leaves a raggedy end just right to cut ya finger ,then you have to file it down which means putting it in a vice 😊 if so you might as well hack saw it ,in a vice 😂
After shortening your bolt with bolt cutters, cleaning up the cut end with a metal file is a good idea - there will be some very sharp burrs there.
Great job ma'am! That helped a lot! 🙂
Just the help I needed. Thank you!
can you use a bolt cutter to cut a nail?
yes
Great video, thanks!
Thanks good ideas.
Thank you for this video!
Informative 👍🏽
Great video! What kind of wire cutter was that?
I used a 14 inch bolt cutter. I put a link to a similar but better one in the description box.
@@KYKCreations Thank You!
What is the sound when you screw it in
It's a ratcheting screwdriver.
Ratcheting screwdrivers think
Thank you!
ty you rock!!!
this was so helpful. thank you!
TY !
Great work...
Brilliant!
Oi Oi Badass. thank you
awesome 😎
I like that the demonstrator is a woman because she has all the same concerns I would have.
Honestly didn't expect a woman, but damn this is an informative video
AYYY... Don't get willy nilly with the metal shavings. If that metal shaving from the carpet gets in your eye and you rub it, you will have permanent vision damage.
I appreciate the word of caution!
3:30 - Those nuts served absolutely zero purpose and most certainly did not prevent the screw threads from being damaged when cutting the screw with a bolt cutter. How would they? You are still simply cutting the screw with bolt cutters at whatever point that you choose.
Otherwise, great video!
phillip, those nuts are critical because as you screw them off, they actually help re-form the damaged thread.
@@KYKCreations But you're not screwing them off ... You're cutting the screw with bolt cutters. So what you you mean exactly....?
@@pthompson2113 jesus christ phillip youre not that bright. the nut-bolts 'rethread ' the damaged screw . when you cut a machine bolt you will almost always inadvertently damage the screw... this was the purpose for having the bolts on in the first place. she even had 2 hex nuts on to ensure the screw would be properly rethreaded as the hex nuts were removed. analyze your dumb stupid comments before making them phillip!
@@pthompson2113 notice how she had to use plyers to take off the screw.. as she was taking off she was re-threading
Lmao tell us you’re an idiot without telling us you’re an idiot
