Pliers STANLEY FatMax XTREME 250 mm 95-098 — rebar cutting and bending tool

STANLEY FatMax XTREME 250 mm pliers (model 95-098) are professional rebar and steel bar pliers designed for cutting, bending and gripping reinforcing bars and steel wire on construction sites. With a 250 mm overall length and hardened cutting edges, these pliers provide the mechanical leverage and edge durability required for on-site rebar preparation and light shaping tasks. Ergonomic handles improve control and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use.

Advantages

Hardened cutting edges deliver extended wear resistance and consistent cutting performance on common rebar and steel wire sizes. The 250 mm length balances leverage and accessibility, allowing work in tighter spaces while still producing sufficient cutting force. Ergonomic handles provide a secure grip and better control when bending or gripping reinforcing bars, and the overall design focuses on durability and service life under construction site conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting small to medium-diameter rebar and steel wire
• Bending and shaping reinforcing bars for on-site adjustments
• Gripping and holding bars during assembly and tying work
• General-purpose tasks requiring hardened cutting edges and a robust pliers body

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Tool type: rebar/steel bar pliers for cutting, bending and gripping
• Cutting edges: hardened for improved wear resistance
• Handles: ergonomic design for improved grip and control
• Construction: heavy-duty body suitable for construction site use

How to use

Position the cutting edges or jaws around the section of rebar or wire you need to cut, bend or grip, ensuring a secure placement before applying force. Use controlled, steady hand pressure to operate the pliers; for cutting, close the jaws fully to sever the material. For bending, use the jaws as a fulcrum and apply gradual pressure to shape the bar to the required angle. Always check that the workpiece is stable and that you have a clear path for any cut sections.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting or bending reinforcing steel. Inspect the pliers regularly for wear on the cutting edges and any deformation of the jaws or handles; replace the tool if significant damage appears. Use the pliers within their intended capacity to avoid premature wear or risk of tool failure.
