Common Mistakes Builders Make When Choosing a Cordless Rebar Cutter

 

It’s easy to focus only on the price tag when you’re choosing a cordless rebar cutter, but choosing based on that alone can leave your crew with a cutter that cuts too slowly and produces rough edges. The problem is that you won’t usually notice these problems until you start using the cutter. That’s why it’s important to take a closer look at everything, from the features to the cutting capacity before making a decision. To make things easier, here are some of the most common mistakes builders make when buying cordless rebar cutters and how you can avoid them.

 

Mistake: Choosing the wrong cutting capacity

 

You’ll usually notice numbers like 6–18mm or 6–20mm listed in the specs when you check cordless reo cutters. Those numbers indicate the range of steel bar diameter sizes the cutter can handle safely and efficiently. If you ignore those specs, you could end up using a cutter that is too small for the bars on site. Repeatedly forcing a cutter through bars beyond its rated capacity can strain the motor and wear the tool out faster.

Check the rebar sizes you regularly work with before you buy cordless reo cutters. Sometimes, it’s best to go for a rebar cutter with a slightly larger capacity in case you need to handle heavier workloads.

 

Mistake: Overlooking battery performance

 

You and your team could end up spending more time waiting than working if your cordless reo cutter’s battery platform charges too slowly or runs out too quickly, so be sure to check the battery system behind it.

 

Here at RAPIDTOOL, you’ll find cordless rebar cutters that use the REO-BOSS battery platform with an 18V – 5.0Ah Li-Ion battery. When paired with the RAPIDTOOL BSC-18X up to 150 cuts on 16mm rebar and up to 320 cuts on 12mm rebar can be made per battery charge. The battery recharges in around 90 minutes, which helps keep work moving.

 

 

Mistake: Ignoring after-sales support and servicing

 

Some low-cost cordless rebar cutters may look like a good deal at first, but you may run into problems once the tool needs servicing or replacement parts.

 

So before purchasing a cordless rebar cutter, check the manufacturer’s warranty support and servicing reputation. Reliable local support can help keep your projects moving when maintenance or repairs are needed.

 

With RAPIDTOOL, you have access to local servicing and repairs, helping minimise disruptions on-site.
