guide to using a rebar

You might have heard how a RAPIDTOOL reo bender can simplify rebar bending. Our tools increase productivity and efficiency in construction sites by ensuring accurate and quick bends. With a powerful single-phase 220-240V – 1200W motor and industrial-strength machine head, our ERB-16 4-16mm rebar bender can complete a 90-degree angle in around 5 seconds. Meanwhile, an industrial unit like the CRB-32 6-32mm machine has 2400W of power output that can bend a steel bar to 90 degrees in 2.5 seconds.

While you’re eager to add our reo bending machines to your construction toolkit, let’s ensure you’re well-prepared. Before you begin, we recommend reviewing the user manual for safe and effective operation. We’ve put together a brief overview to give you a better idea of how easy our rebar benders are to use.

Set up properly

Setting up a RAPIDTOOL rebar bending machine is simple, thanks to the compact design and significantly smaller footprint than other industrial bar benders. Our CRB-25 Industrial 6-25 rebar bender measures 45cm x 50cm x 44cm, so it’s easy to fit in any job site or workshop. That said, make sure it’s on a stable surface, away from obstacles and debris. Moreover, there should be a reliable electrical outlet nearby.

During setup, take the time to:

  • Verify the bend module’s condition and tightness
  • Ensure a properly earthed power supply
  • Ensure the power cord isn’t damaged, and the plug isn’t loose.
  • Warm up the reo bender for 60 seconds in cold weather.

Ready to bend!

Our rebar bending machines come in different sizes, ensuring a tool that meets the specifications of the steel bars for your construction project. These include 4-16mm for our electric handheld bar bender and 6-25mm and 6-32mm for the industrial machines.

If you have our electric 4-16mm rebar bender, simply pull the trigger and it will automatically bend the steel bar to your desired angle. On the other hand, our industrial rebar bending machines come with foot pedals to simplify operation.

Ensure accurate bends

Our industrial reo benders come with fixed bending pins in various diameters. You may even request custom sizes. These angle stoppers ensure precise bends every time, ensuring the steel bar is bent correctly.
