If you’re looking for a reliable tool that can automatically cut steel bars without relying on mains power, it’s time to invest in a cordless rebar cutter. These battery-powered models let you work faster and keep you productive all day. For example, the RAPIDTOOL BRC-20X rebar cutter lets you cut steel reinforcing bars to precise lengths in about four seconds, without sparks. The REO-BOSS battery platform also helps you stay productive, as you can get up to 115 cuts on 20mm rebar and up to 390 cuts on 12mm steel bars on just one charge.
Even though cordless rebar cutters are easy to use, you still need to handle them properly to avoid accidents and keep everyone on site safe. Here are a few important tips to keep in mind.
Use only for its intended purpose
The first thing to remember is to use your rebar cutter only for the material it’s designed to cut, which is graded steel. The allowed bar diameter depends on the model you’re using. If you try to cut other materials, you could damage the tool and put yourself or others at risk of injury.
When you need a tool that can cut more than steel bars, check out the RAPIDTOOL BSC-18X shear cutter. It comes with a rotating bolt cutter-style head that can cut anything from bolts to chains and padlocks, even in tight spaces.
Get the right size
Before choosing a cordless rebar cutter, it’s important to know the size of the steel bars you usually work with. This helps you choose a tool that will work efficiently for your projects. For example, some models are designed to cut larger steel bars, while others are made for smaller diameters. By choosing the right size, you can work more smoothly and avoid overloading the tool.
Wear protective gear
The cut ends can sometimes shoot out due to the high pressure used during cutting – especially if you’re working on shorter pieces (300mm or less). That’s why you need to wear proper protective gear such as safety glasses or a face shield. Another good safety habit is to put a safety screen or barrier between the cutter and anyone standing nearby.
