Short version: Bolt Cutters are a TOOL item. They turned up on Day 4 and Day 5 in two different runs, when the objective read Inspect supplies, keep defences up, and rest at night. We haven't seen a fixed spawn, and we haven't seen what you cut with them, so treat each place as one player's run.

Where they turned up
The 13 Tips video shows the Bolt Cutters card, and the long co-op run picked them up on Day 4 and Day 5. Both runs were in the apartment while the objective was about checking supplies.
A run that went looking
Sandoosky's video has a chapter called Searching for bolt cutters, between Escalating danger and Desperate final stand, so at least one player had a reason to need them. The chapter title is all we've used from it; we haven't read the transcript.
Tips
- Look around the apartment on Day 4 and 5, when the objective sends you to check supplies.
- Hold the tool slot free: you carry 4 items plus a backpack.
