Metabo HPT36V MultiVolt™ Portable Rebar Bender/Cutter, Dual Power Source Technology, Fast Cuts, Powerful Bends, Brushless Motor, Includes 2x 4.0Ah Metabo Batteries and Rapid Charger, VB3616DA

All I can say is I regret not having one of these many years ago. Though it seems like another expensive handheld tool/drill/saw etc.- it isn’t. This tool impressed us so much we ordered another one. We were able to bend stirrups, square ties fully enclosed cages, and you can measure your bend lengths easily and precisely. It blows me away how great this tool is. Hitachi/Metabo tools have always impressed me but I’m speechless how great this is. It’s pretty heavy so don’t think that it’s going to break after a few bends. I could see this machine in daily use lasting years. It’s heavily geared with low gear ratio. Also cuts like butter. We stand it up on end and slip the bars through.Great tool for small jobs, pre-fab & bending on site. Forget about any kind of hand bender once you have this machine in hand you’ll know exactly what I mean… you won’t regret it.

I can already see this unit paying for itself.1) the crew likes using the tool.2) user friendly3) less waste4) doesn't get tired!Only rated for #3,#4 & #5 which covers most projectsIf you cut rebar or need to bend rebar regularly this is the unit!

Works great and makes the job much more efficient.

My wife and I are in the process of building our home and I bought this so she could help with the rebar.Honestly great product, easy to use and effective.Cost is high but it cuts and bends something that my 12in demo-saw doesn’t do. AND there isn’t a fear of sparks starting a fire.I was able to cut and bend 256 48”x12” #4 dowels in 2hrs using this tool. Ya it costs too much money but with the lack of available labor its worth it.

This tool has been good but not great. For starters it doesn’t get much use at all and we had a battery just not take a charge the other day “maybe used this tool 20 times total in 2 years…The other issue is that when you cut rebar that needs to go into drilled concrete it leaves a nasty oval shaped cut since it actually snaps the rebar vs cutting. The pressure deforms the steel where it snaps so if you’re trying to hammer it into a concrete hole it’s a little harder than normal.More irritated about the battery since we only have Dewalt cordless and can’t interchange if needed. Stuck with 1 good battery but who knows how long that will last now…

Wish I had bought one years ago. So much easier and faster than a hand cutter / bender. Paid for itself on the first couple of jobs. If you do a lot of concrete work you need this tool.

When it works it will burn through a bundle of bar in no time, if you routinely cut/bend #5 (something Metabo claims it can do) it will start ratcheting and fail to cut or bend just around end of warranty. Smaller bar seems ok.I own two of them. The first one failed to cut a #5 and went in for repairs for 3 months, it still can't cut or bend a #5 after being repaired and retoothed. The second one the controller failed and started over bending to the point of ratcheting/snapping noises, it has been in the shop for six months now.I miss the days of the rugged old Hitachi tools, Metabo is garbage.

I like the bender but the cutting is not very good

Best rebar bender we've ever had. Bought it for bending 10mm and 15mm rebar for ICF construction.

Super
