When you manually work with reinforcing steel bars, you tend to put your health and well-being at risk. Repetitive manual bending could strain your joints and muscles, causing long-term injury and chronic pain. To improve your safety, consider using a state-of-the-art rebar bender, which will automatically and effortlessly bend the steel for you. All you have to do is set the rebar and the machine will do its job. If you need to a more versatile machine, consider portable rebar benders, which are lightweight, compact, and can easily be transported.
A superior quality portable rebar bender is designed to ensure outstanding performance. It accurately and efficiently achieves a clean hydraulic bend with its industrial strength machine head and a robust 220-240V electric motor. Some manufacturers also carry portable rebar benders with a 110-120V electric motor, in case you need that for specific applications. Regardless of your choice, both models guarantee superior quality hydraulics, and they will increase safety and efficiency on your job site.
The portable rebar bender comes with a handle for an easy and ergonomic grip that will reduce strain on your hand and wrist. The net weight of the tool is 15kg, so it should be easy to lift and carry. Some of the best products measure 60cm x 17cm x 20cm, and given this compact size, they are easy to store when not in use. Just be sure to choose a rebar bending machine that can accommodate the size of steel bars you will be working with and that it can bend at your desired angle.
Check the specifications of the rebar bender before buying it. A portable model should be able to achieve a bend diameter of 4mm to 16mm – 650N/mm2, with a bend angle of 0 degrees to 90 degrees, or 0 degrees to 130 degrees if you are working with smaller bars. The bender will be able to achieve a 90-degree angle in less than five seconds. Some rebar benders are designed for industrial, heavy-duty requirements, and they could come with a built-in rebar cutter, which can be practical if you want an all-in-one machine that can eliminate the need to purchase a separate cutting machine.
