|:-My husband wanted to replace a frayed furler (I think), and he got a
|:-large piece of stainless wire rope, and attempted to cut it to size
|:-with the bolt cutters and couldn't do it. These were BIG cutters.
And bolt cutters WILL work to cut away rigging. However, you must cut the
BODY OF THE SWAGE as far toward the eye as possible, not on the wire. Those
using Staylock or Norseman terminals may want to see if your bolt cutters
will get a purchase on these big terminals before they go off shore. One of
the nice hydraulic cutters that John on Truelove mentioned are great for
cutting wire.
