What our Experts Think
-
Industry-first cordless rebar solution
This tool breaks the mold as one of the first 36 V cordless rebar bender/cutter systems, giving pros the freedom to work without cords on busy job sites.
-
Impressive runtime & productivity
Delivers approximately 270 cuts and 520 bends per charge with the included two 36 V MultiVolt 4.0 Ah batteries, helping you get more done between charges.
-
Fast, powerful performance
Cuts #5 rebar in about 2.6–3 seconds and bends up to #5 rebar quickly, with the brushless motor providing consistent torque and speed.
-
Dual power flexibility
While fully cordless on the job, you can also use an optional AC adapter (sold separately) to save battery life when plugged in—great for extended tasks.
-
Robust build for tough jobs
The brushless motor and durable construction handle frequent cuts and bends, and the unit bends multiple bars at once (e.g., 2× #4 or 3× #3 simultaneously).
-
Pro-grade runtime & efficiency
Users appreciate the long battery life and reliable operation in demanding conditions, making this a worthwhile investment for frequent rebar work.
-
Portable & ergonomic for field work
Cordless operation and balanced weight make it easier to maneuver around job sites compared with traditional corded benders/cutters.

Maintenance Tips
-
Keep Blades & Dies Clean
Remove metal shavings after each use to maintain cutting precision and prevent jamming.
-
Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly
Apply light machine oil to cutting and bending mechanisms to reduce wear and extend tool life.
-
Check Blade Sharpness & Alignment
Inspect cutting edges frequently; replace or realign when cuts become rough or inconsistent.
-
Maintain Battery Health (36V System)
Use only compatible batteries, avoid deep discharge, and store in a cool, dry place for maximum runtime.
-
Use Rapid Charger Properly
Avoid overheating by allowing batteries to cool before charging for optimal lifespan.
-
Inspect Hydraulic System (if applicable)
Check for leaks or pressure loss to ensure consistent cutting and bending force.
-
Tighten Fasteners & Housing
Periodically check bolts and casing screws to reduce vibration and maintain safety.
-
Clean Air Vents & Motor Housing
Prevent dust and metal debris buildup to avoid overheating.
-
Store in Dry Environment
Protect from moisture and corrosion when not in use.
-
Schedule Routine Professional Servicing
Ensures peak performance for heavy-duty construction use.
