Interesting, I tried to rent one when I lost my key to the outboard padlock.
They wouldn't rent it to cut off a lock, said destroys the cutting edges. I
ended up using a cutting wheel on an angle grinder.

What size did you buy?

I bought a 24 inch one. It went through the lock so easily I felt silly
and regretted not going smaller. OTOH, the S.S. shrouds will be a lot
tougher if I ever have to cut them. I also bought larger, better, locks
so the cost of the cutter won't be wasted the next time I lock myself
out

Actually, I did stow the cutter inside the boat but I also had a half
dozen keys made for the new locks. I'll keep one in my wallet and one in
my car.

I have used my ACE HArdware bolt cutter to cut off locks, to cut bolts,
and to cut 1X19 shrouds. It works for me. If you have a choce, buy
the better one.
