Bolt Cutters
I have what I think is 3/8" anchor chain on my 42' trawler. Not sure whether it is the super hardened type or not. I want to purchase a quality pair of bolt cutters in case I have to cut the chain loose in a bad situation. Definitely looking for better quality than Harbor Freight. Any recommendations on where to buy them?

Re: Bolt Cutters
I've seen "quick release chain shackles" that would allow you to release your anchor chain. Google it and see what comes up.

Re: Bolt Cutters
Buy the right size cutters on HF and they will work! I have a pair I've used for 20 years or more now. Mike
