"I bought the rebar cutter for a project that I was working on, and yes I have a cutting torch and could have easily have got a abrasive chop saw, but I decided to go for this cutter, and bender, one of the plus was the bender, I have a Hickey bender but this is much handier and easier to use in My opinion,
the foundation I was working on had a lot of rebar in it and many of the reinforcement bars had 3 to 5 bends in it, this bender was jsut the ticket for my project, and the cutter was easy to use as well,
I know in the future I will be using it again and again,
I cut my first piece and then used that laid out next to the cutter to make measurements for the following units to be cut,
bending was simple and easy,
I felt the price was more than fair, for the unit,
I mounted the unit I have to a board for more stability , there are places to secure it solidly,
one of the other features I found useful was the small chain and ring to keep the handle in the closed position, made loading and unloading and moving it much safer and easier with the handle secured.
would I buy it again YES."
