Top quality bolt cutters could be adjustable by offset, cam or snail profiled pivot bolts and by adjustable handle stops. Cheaper type bolt cutters tend not to be adjustable.
Testimonial: "bolt cutter has the adjustment on the handle but that only brings the point of the jaws closer-not the base----the space is 1/32 inch at base---is that ok?"
1/32" would be acceptable depending on what you are cutting. A small gap would prevent the cutting edges damaging each other and help avoid the cut part flying dangerously...
If you take the bolt cutters apart you might find the pivot bolts have a cam profile allowing some adjustment. This would also allow you to apply a little lubrication to the moving parts.

the bolt is rusted stuck on the bushing, you can try soaking it in penetrating oil for a few days, hitting it with hammer back and forth may work, it will destroy the bolt otherwise heat may work, i used to just torch them off and use new bolts

There on very tight, did you insert a bolt in the hole, where the bolt for the crank bolt goes on, insert a long where it sticks out pass the pulley about 3 to 4 inches, but thinner bolt in there, and the tip of the puller on it, tighten the puller, and it will come out. I would get two of those bolt's, because it will start to bent, and you might need to used the other bolt to finsh taking it out.
Testimonial: "THANK YOU -THANK YOU-THANK YOU !!!! I RECEIVED RESPONSE THIS AM , RIGHT B/4 I WAS TO BEGIN AGAIN AND WITH THIS TIP I HAD THE PULLEY OFF IN 5 MINUTES ."
SOURCE: how do i use a
You don't. There is a special 3 jaw puller, specific for Chrysler products and a few other vehicles. I comes with three various length rods that slide into the hole in the end of the crankshaft and into the end of the puller bolt to obtain the correct length. The jaws of the puller have slots rather than hooks that slide onto machined surfaces in the inner part of the damper. These pullers are available for rent at auto parts stores. usually it's free, you just leave a deposit. trying to use a standard puller on the outside of the damper will damage the damper.

They make a special tool for removing the pilot bearing, any NAPA auto parts store should have one. See picture below.
