Quick answer: A cordless bolt cutter lets you cut steel without being tied to a power cord. RAPIDTOOL’s BSC-18X cordless rebar shear cutter can cut through D500N rebar in about four seconds and make up to 320 cuts on 12mm rebar with one battery charge.
Cutting rebar, bolts or chains by hand can be physically demanding, particularly when you’re working through dozens of cuts. No wonder many Australian job sites are turning to cordless bolt cutters. These battery-powered cutters take much of the manual effort out of the job, while cordless operation gives your team the freedom to move around the worksite without being restricted by power leads.
The RAPIDTOOL BSC-18X is built for fast, efficient reo cutting across construction sites and industrial applications.

Cut through a wide range of materials
Jobsites can be unpredictable. One minute you’re cutting reo, and the next you’re tackling bolts, metal rods or other materials that need cutting.
A cordless bolt cutter gives you the flexibility to handle different cutting jobs with one battery-powered tool. The RAPIDTOOL BSC-18X cordless rebar shear cutter can cut a range of materials, from metal rods and bolts to padlocks and chains, you can count on it in different work environments.
It also reduces the physical effort needed for each cut, thanks to the powerful electric motor that provides consistent cutting power. Because there’s no power cord, anyone from construction crews to maintenance teams and emergency responders can use the tool wherever the job takes them.
Stay productive
With the BSC-18X, you can cut rebar up to 18mm thick in about four seconds. Battery life depends on the bar size: you can make up to 150 cuts on thicker rebar, or around 320 cuts on 12mm rebar, with one charge.
The 360-degree rotating shear head also makes the cutter easier to position in tight spaces. Because the BSC-18X runs on RAPIDTOOL’s REO-BOSS battery platform, you can move around the jobsite without being tied to a power cord.
