From the product description, "Easy cutting of any wire up to 1/4-inch."
They're likely decent for cutting upholstery hog rings, but for that task, I would really prefer a spring opening cutter.
.
These came out as wire cutters and not sure when/where they were coined 'bolt cutters.' For soft wire like copper/aluminum, they will cut up to 6mm, but even with a large hand milker grip [1], one handed will get old pretty quick. For hardened SS bolts and similar, about 3mm is it without abusing the tool.

Each to their own, but for bolt cutters, I would buy bolt cutters that are rated for more than 1/8".
Now, this style in angled head, with or without spring and without the available recess are a useful tool for cutting close, prying out, etc.
