According to the blog:
viewers to believe that 42-inch bolt cutters are common tools used by thieves. They are not. The 42-inch bolt cutters used in the show are large in size, expensive to purchase and difficult to obtain
According to McMaster-Carr, page 2260, I can purchase a pair of 42" cutters suitable for 1/2" hard steel/chain for $260. If I order them now, I'll have them on my doorstep within a day.
