Cordless Rebar Cutter From RAPIDTOOL

Historically, cordless power tools were too hefty and cumbersome to be considered truly portable. Plus, they lacked the grunt for the demands of heavy-duty construction projects. But, the construction industry was calling out for a cordless rebar cutter. 

RAPIDTOOL stepped up to that challenge. Thanks to recent advances in battery technology, its cordless machines can match the efficiency of an electric cutter without the constraints of a power cord.

An essential tool for any tradie who works with reo, let’s take a look at what makes this latest offering from RAPIDTOOL so special.

Who Needs a Cordless Rebar Cutter?

The portable rebar cutter is suitable for a wide range of trades, including:

• Concrete workers.
• Steel fixers.
• Precast yards.
• Form workers.
• General builders.

In short, anyone working with rebar will benefit from using one.

What Are the Benefits of RAPIDTOOL’s Portable Rebar Cutter for Users?

• Portability — a battery-operated rebar cutter offers the advantage of being a truly portable tool to cut rebar. 
• No extra power needed — ideal for locations or sites where electricity is limited or restricted. 
• Increased productivity — a cordless reo bar cutter can enhance the productivity of a worker by enabling them to complete cuts quickly and with more efficiency. For example, the BRC-20X cuts through 6 to 20 mm rebar in as fast as 4 seconds.
• Ideal for use in smaller places — a handheld rebar cutter can allow access to areas or jobs where a lack of space prevents the use of traditional bulkier rebar-cutting equipment. For example, the BSC-18X is even equipped with a scissor style bolt cutter head to access tight spaces.
• Less fatigue — with a powerful cutting mechanism, using a powered rebar cutter means the operator can cut through rebar quickly and with less physical effort. 
• Versatility — rebar cutters are versatile tools that allow the user to work with a wide range of rebar sizes. The ability to cut through mesh and different diameters of rebar with just one tool makes them a valuable addition to any construction worker’s arsenal of tools.
• Battery-life efficient motor — the RAPIDTOOL cordless rebar cutter is built with a brushless motor. This offers more efficient use of battery life compared to brushed motors.
• Clean and precise cuts — cordless rebar cutters deliver a clean and precise cut, ensuring your rebar fits perfectly into place. With hydraulic power, they offer more precision than manual rebar-cutting tools.

What Are the Advantages of Cordless vs Corded Rebar Cutters?

• No external power constraints — a battery powered rebar cutter gives you the freedom to cut rebar wherever, without the hassle of worrying about a power point. 
• Speeds up the start of a job — no more hunting for electrical outlets to get the project underway.
• High energy-to-weight ratio — a battery powered rebar cutter offers convenience and on-par efficiency to its electrically powered counterpart but in a unit that’s small enough to carry around anywhere.
• Fewer tripping hazards — no mains cord means fewer potential accidents from workers on site, particularly in high-traffic areas. 
• Improved safety for users — cordless rebar cutters have been designed with worker safety in mind. Automatic shut-off mechanisms and safety guards help prevent onsite accidents or injuries.
• No more cut power cords — another safety concern that can be reduced is accidentally cutting through the power cord.
• Impressive run time — using lithium-ion batteries, a single charge is enough to complete up to 115 cuts on 20 mm and 390 cuts on 12 mm rebar (BRC-20X).
• Greener operation — and, being battery-powered, it’s better for the planet — it doesn’t require a fossil-fuelled onsite generator for operation, or extra effort to transport them from site to site.
