What to Look for in a Good Rebar Bender

When shopping for a good rebar bender, there's no shortage of products boasting a whole host of benefits that may or may not be right for your job. Throw in the growing popularity of versatile and easy-to-use rebar/bender cutter combinations, and the task of choosing the right bender is made even more daunting. Rebar benders are available in many options; manual benders that can handle one piece of rebar at a time, up to electric models that can bend multiple pieces at a time on a permanent shop mounted piece of equipment.

Some features to look for in a good quality rebar bender include the ability to bend up to 190 degrees (while one end of the rebar remains stationary), high-grade rebar bending capability, foot pedal control and different angle presets (on electric models), an optional length guide and a bender die set that conforms to Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) specifications.

When shopping for a rebar cutter/bender, look for a product that's specially designed for making clean cuts in reinforcing steel. Special heat-treated alloy steel and special lubrication can also contribute to longer product life. Foot pedal control and overall product stability will lead to increased safety and efficiency.
