boltcutters
Lock-defeating lever shears
Boltcutters are heavy-duty hand tools with long handles and short, powerful jaws designed to cut through padlocks, chains, bolts, and wire fencing.
The long handles provide leverage to shear metal that ordinary pliers can't touch.
Associated with both legitimate work and breaking into places: Someone had taken boltcutters to the chain-link fence.
