Would you recommend these bolt cutters for a woman like me with NOT too much upper body strength?

J Huss: As with anything, it depends. If you are an average woman with average strength, you should be Ok (but understand these are a little heavy but with that comes the power). If you are below average strength, you will have trouble with these bolt cutters.

They are great to cut with but you really do need strength if you are going to cut anything hard like a lock. But it does cut wire shelving like butter... Hope this helps.

If you can handle a two year old child crying uncontrollably in your arms for a few seconds I do not see a problem depending on the gauge of the wire will say how much pressure is needed. I feel that a Women or Man can use this tool maybe not with ease but it can be done if we want to. I hope I was helpful !

Yes! it does not require too much strength. It's almost like cutting through butter.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

I'm not a petite woman, but yes, you should not have any problem grasping these. Mostly, you lay the pad of your hands on the top and loosly grasp with your fingers. They are so stable that I could do pushups without grasping them at all with my fingers. They are tacky and don't move, and I use them on a concrete floor.

There are many different guides for different lengths. These are the same clippers used at most hair salons and places that offer haircuts such and Great Clips and Sports Clips. To answer your question in regards for female users I would assume these would work based on what I have experienced with my kids and what the experts use but for the price they seem really to be a great deal. I hope I answered your question. You could look up other reviews not just with Amazon but maybe Target, Walmart, Kohls, or you favorite store.

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

I used it to cut wire coat hangers, but Padlock, I would recommend a bolt cutter for around the same price.

I only know from my own experience. I am a 50-year-old woman and fairly fit, but I don't have the upper body strength of most men. I easily sawed through a 3-inch diameter walnut limb in maybe a minute or two. Maybe not even that. It seemed fast, and the saw is really sharp with great pull. I've read that some have easily sawed through 6-inch or 8-inch diameters. I'm guessing I could do that, too; it just might take me longer.

These would definitely do the job but Ithink a good pair of dikes would be better and quicker.Knipex 7401250SBA 10-Inch High Leverage Diagonal Cutters

They should be fine. I got 1.5 or 1 lb each ( can't remember) and they are a little too heavy for me. I use them for about half the work out. 1 lb should be fine. Most the of women in my class use .5 lb.

Hello, I would say that if you face the part that sticks out (the part you have to squeeze to open the pin) away from the head, they should be comfortable enough. They have been used by women for a lot of years, and I figure if a product doesnt work, women wouldnt buy it, and the product would phase out of existence. I hope I helped. :)

Well , I'm a woman and j have pretty smallWrist and they fit me just fine . They Velcro allows you to pull them pretty tight . These are actually te best weights I've ever owned and plan on buying the heavier set .

Judging by the sturdy construction I would say you will be fine...also taking into consideration the angle of your exercise your full body weight will not be applied. If you have never done these before go slowly outward but beyond your physical strength. It won't take long to figure what your limit is. Be safe and enjoy

If you're a guy, go higher. I'm a woman & used to working out with weights, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money right away. I did find out that another set of handles is handy as is a 2nd door anchor. So far I'm doing just fine with this set after using it for 6 weeks

Hi. I have 3 sets of fiskars clippers and these are my least favorite. If you can learn the ratchet trick, they work well....by the way, I am female. However, you cannot just go cut, you HAVE. To ratchet and sometimes, I don't care what I do, it doesn't seem to work and I just revert to my one size smaller fiskars to get it done.

Knowing what I know about them, I'd say no.....That big green one I don't even use......Actually, I use the purple one the most, I've even ordered a separate one, so I can do all kinds of exercises with both arms......That being said, these bands are the best things since sliced bread, seriously.....all you have to do is find something to loop them over and away you go.......I bought three drawer handles, screwed them to an upright stud in the garage, one low about 1' off the floor, one mounted about waist high, and one about shoulder height.......You can finally get all the movement your body wants.....I'm completely sold on them......

They will for a very short while, then you will have to invest in a stronger bolt cutter, my drivers has went through them just cutting pins from lids that are not as thick as fork and spoons. I would get of course the Tekton but a stronger one.

I don't use them for this, but they are very long (total length is 36") and seem to be strong enough to hold up. They are probably designed for a man's hand and arm. They are huge on me (5'5" female). I hope this helps
