Steel Bar Cutter 12 mm NEO tools 31-035 — manual cutting tool for rebar and rods

Steel Bar Cutter 12 mm NEO tools 31-035 is a manual cutting tool designed to cut round bars and reinforcing steel with diameters up to 12 mm. The tool features hardened cutting edges and extended handles to increase leverage, allowing users to make clean straight cuts without using power tools. It is intended for construction, metalworking and DIY tasks where quick, precise shortening of rods and rebar is required.

Advantages

The hardened cutting blades provide durable performance and resist deformation under repeated use, while the long handles reduce required hand force and improve cutting control. The compact, tool-only design enables use in confined spaces and on-site environments where access to electricity is limited. The cutter produces minimal burrs when used correctly, supporting neat finishes and reducing time spent on secondary processing.

Suitable for

• Cutting steel reinforcing bars on construction sites
• Shortening round rods and bolts to length for assembly
• Metalworking and fabrication tasks requiring manual cutting
• DIY and repair jobs where portable non-powered cutting is needed

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting diameter: 12 mm (round bar/rebar)
• Cutting mechanism: manual lever action with hardened blades
• Handle type: long, non-powered handles for increased leverage
• Blade material: hardened steel cutting edges for wear resistance
• Intended use: short straight cuts of steel rods and reinforcing bars

How to use

Position the bar between the cutting blades at the desired cut point and ensure it sits square to the jaws. Grip the handles firmly and apply steady leverage until the blades meet and shear through the metal. For best results, use a controlled motion rather than sudden jerks, and re-position the workpiece if necessary to achieve a straight cut. After cutting, check the cut edge for burrs and, if required, remove sharp edges with a file or grinder.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses. Use the tool on materials within the specified diameter range to avoid damage to the blades or handles. Keep the cutting edges clean and periodically inspect for wear; replace or resharpen blades if cuts become imprecise. Store the cutter in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the metal parts.
