Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What size bolt cutter do I need to cut standard container shipping seals?
A 30-inch or 36-inch heavy-duty bolt cutter with hardened steel jaws is recommended to cut through thick container bolt seals and heavy padlock shackles easily.
Are hand tools sufficient for modifying a container wall?
Hand tools like clamps, hammers, and riveters are essential for measuring, securing, and finishing work, but large panel cuts in COR-TEN steel are best started using power tools such as angle grinders or plasma cutters.
