Rebar cutter has been in use for about 2 weeks, with very heavy use. Job reporting that it has been performing very well and has had no problems with up to 3/4" rebar. We don't have any 1" on this site to try it on. The job is very happy with its substantial construction, ease of use, and consistent performance. It is very important to properly read & implement the OMM instructions for safe and consistent cuts. It cuts quick and accurately and is light enough to move around the jobsite.
