Metabo HPT VB3616DA MultiVolt Rebar Bender/Cutter 

Metabo HPT (formerly Hitachi Power Tools) introduces the industry’s first dual-powered MultiVolt Rebar Bender/Cutter (model VB3616DA) designed exclusively for rebar to make quick & easy cuts and to bend to uniform angles like a breeze.

Made in Japan and based on the iconic corded rebar bender/cutter model VB16Y, this tool is crafted to deliver even greater cutting and bending performance than the original model. It delivers one of a kind cordless/corded dual-power convenience as part of the MultiVolt family of tools. With its impressive power and speed, the VB3616DA pays for itself in time and labor saved on the jobsite.

This ultra-capable rebar bender/cutter can bend approximately 520 pieces of #5 rebar at 90° on a single charge of the included MultiVolt 4.0Ah battery in under 2 seconds per bend. It can bend multiple pieces of rebar at one time (one piece of #5 rebar, two pieces of #4, or three pieces of #3) to save time and improve productivity.

Dial into precise angles up to 180° for uniform bends with the simple turn of the convenient color-coded angle adjust dial. For custom angles, a quick-reverse setting is a feature of the new Manual Mode. When it comes to cuts, a user can expect approximately 270 cuts of #5 rebar in a matter of seconds on a single charge of the 4.0Ah MultiVolt battery. With any MultiVolt tool, if a power outlet is handy - just plug in with the AC adapter with cord for unlimited run time, leaving the batteries for jobs that require cordless convenience.

This MultiVolt Rebar Bender/Cutter comes equipped with a dual-step trigger and deflection guard for added user safety. The VB3616DA utilizes Brushless Motor Technology for more run-time, increased power, and extended durability with essentially no maintenance. Weighing just 42.3 lbs., the VB3616DA’s solid construction is made to last, and with Metabo HPT’s professional 5-year tool body warranty – it’s a safe bet for the long haul.

Metabo HPT’s revolutionary MultiVolt platform uniquely offers dual-power versatility. Used cordless or corded, MultiVolt offers the ability to operate any MultiVolt tool either with a 36V battery or AC Adapter with cord with equivalent POWER and PERFORMANCE no matter the power source. Go cordless when there’s no access to power and portability is needed. When there is easy access to power, save the battery and just plug in.

This MultiVolt Rebar Bender/Cutter comes complete with (2) 36V MultiVolt 4.0Ah batteries (372121M), rapid charger with USB port (UC18YSL3), a deflection guard, and rolling plastic case for storage and easy transport.
