If your work involves reinforced concrete, you’ll often need to cut steel bars to precise lengths. Grinders and circular saws have long been the standard, but cordless rebar cutters are now taking the lead cutting faster and cleaner.
Which tool can help you get the job done quickly and safely? Let’s compare the two and see how our cordless rebar cutter measures up against traditional grinders.
Cordless rebar cutters – built for speed
Cutting rebar with a grinder is slow and tiring. You could easily drain both time and energy before completely cutting a 32mm bar.
In comparison the RAPIDTOOL ERC-32A Cordless Rebar Cutter, slices through 6mm to 32mm bars in just four seconds. With its industrial-grade machine head and 220–240V, 3000W single-phase motor, you can cut steel bars quickly and accurately without sparks or excessive noise.
Designed for precision and performance
Grinders are versatile multipurpose tools that let you cut metal,shape masonry, and even polish surfaces. In contrast, a cordless rebar cutter is purpose-built for cutting steel bars efficiently and precisely. It’s optimised for rebar, so it lets you cut consistently and cleanly, reducing material waste and the need for rework.
While it’s not a general-purpose tool like a grinder, some cordless rebar cutters can still handle more than just rebar. The RAPIDTOOL BSC-18X Rebar Shear Cutter, for example, can cut up to 18mm steel bars, as well as chains and padlocks in about four seconds. Thanks to its brushless motor technology, it runs quietly and produces minimal vibration — ideal for maintaining safety and comfort on your job site.
A safer choice for every worksite
With high-precision hydraulic pumps, our cordless rebar cutters let you cut steel bars safely and accurately without generating sparks. This greatly reduces the risk of ignition-related accidents, making them ideal for worksites with strict safety regulations.
If you use a grinder, you will have to worry about sparks and metal dust, which can be hazardous to both workers and the surrounding environment. By using a cordless rebar cutter, you’re eliminating these risks without compromising cutting accuracy.
