Hitachi introduces the first portable rebar cutter and bender in the industry, the VB16Y

Hitachi Power Tools has introduced its revolutionary VB16Y. This new rebar cutter/bender provides jobsite cutting and bending of rebar in one portable and completely unique tool. Precision angle bends are preset and completed in just seconds. Utilizing an impressive 530 watts of power, the VB16Y’s built-in microprocessor uniformly bends up to No.5 Grade 60 rebar at a maximum angle of 180 degrees. The operator has complete control over the velocity and angle at which the rebar is bent. A variable speed trigger with safety lock provides the operator with “manual-like” precision and control over the bending speed. Reference markings on the bending plate provide for easy position adjustment. And with the turn of a pre-set dial, you can make cuts at a numerous variety of angles with no problem at all. The VB16Y weighs 42 lbs, is easily transported to the jobsite or bolted to a fixed base. The low profile design combined with two reaction receivers at the front and the rear, balance and stabilize the tool.
