I'd usually refer to them in the plural, and usually as a pair or a set. I can imagine situations where I might say that I need "a bolt-cutter", in the sense that I need a device that will cut a bolt, irrespective of whether it looks like your picture.
I might also refer to them as bolt-croppers, should the fit take me.
