Tool expert here, worked at Engineer tools for 6 years, lived in Japan for 26. It's common for tools in Japan to have the capability to cut bolts - it's part of a wider cultural concept known as 連結使用 or Renketsu shiyō which translates roughly to 'Consolidated Use' in English and is very basically what you'd expect from such a concept. Hope this helps, cheers - Jerbus F
Glad I saw this. I use those ratcheting double die type crimpers and have alot of issues with Dupont being too tight and the wire breaking at the jacket crimp. I also spent 10 minutes cutting 8 M2 screws with a dremel because I can't find the exact M2 screw length I need. I know what I'm buying next.
The bolt cutters are an interesting choice. I thought it was an odd addition for an electrical tool but it's at least useful. One thing I've noticed since using the pa-24 more - the crimps are good but they do get slightly stuck in the dies. It takes very little force to get them out so it's no big deal but just something I noticed after the vid was uploaded. It could also be the super cheap dupont connectors I bought. I still prefer it to the hozan but only because it's half the price.
@@midwestcyberpunk screw cutters are not at all odd for an electrical tool, almost every pair of wire strippers I have has screw cutters, they're all SAE #6, #8, and #10 though. I mostly use Greenlee stuff
@@blazini yeah after looking at klein and others, I see what you mean. I mostly have cheaper to mid range electrical tools that don't have any screw cutters. After a very long time and plenty of experience with harbor freight hand tools, I've decided it wise to just buy good tools.
