Essential Rebar Tools Every Australian Concreter Should Own

 

The thing about working with reo is that you often need to cut it to the right length before you can put it in place. Depending on the job, you may also need to bend it or tie intersections together before the concrete pour. Why not invest in tools that can make these tasks faster? Here are four RAPIDTOOL tools worth having on hand for common rebar work.

 

A reliable rebar cutter

 

Do you routinely need to trim rebar to suit the dimensions of a slab or footing? A rebar cutter lets you do that on site without relying on abrasive cutting methods.

 

RAPIDTOOL has cordless models such as the BRC-20X and BSC-18X rebar cutters, which give you the flexibility to cut on site even without a fixed power source. For heavier or more frequent cutting, electric and hydraulic models such as the ERC-25 provide another option.

 

A solid rebar bender

 

Does the design call for bent bars? A rebar bender allows you to quickly and accurately form reo to the required angle, making the process faster and less labour intensive. The portable RAPIDTOOL ERB-16 is designed for 4mm to 16mm bar. We also have larger industrial benders for jobs involving thicker reinforcement or higher volumes of bending.

 

A dependable rebar tying machine

 

Once you’ve positioned the bars, you still need to secure the intersections before the pour. You can easily spend hours working through a large slab if you’re tying every connection by hand with nips.

 

RAPIDTOOL rebar tying machines such as the WRAPTOR WRAP-44, RT-40A and RT-60A, automate the  tying process. All you have to do is position the tool over the intersection and pull the trigger. The rebar tying tool will do all the tying, twisting and cutting in less than a second per tie.

 

Combination cutter and bender

 

Does your crew regularly cut and bend reinforcement on the same job? You might benefit from a combination machine that can perform both tasks. The CRBC-25 Industrial Rebar bender/cutter handles steel bars from 4 mm to 25 mm for both cutting and bending, so your crew can do both jobs with one machine.
