The Simpson MCR05012 1/2 in. x 15 in. Rebar Cutter is a carbide tipped cutting bit from Simpson Strong-Tie, built to resolve one of the most common obstacles in concrete drilling: rebar or wire mesh blocking the intended hole location. When hole placement conflicts with embedded rebar or wire mesh, this bit enables the rebar to be removed so the hole can be drilled to the proper depth - keeping work accurate and on schedule. Part of a complete line of premium-quality drill bits, core bits, and chisels, this rebar cutter is manufactured to demanding tolerances and designed to maximize production on the jobsite.

Key Features

• Carbide tipped construction - delivers the durability needed to cut through embedded rebar and wire mesh without sacrificing performance over repeated use
• 1/2 in. diameter - sized for common anchor and fastener hole applications in concrete and masonry where rebar interference is a concern
• 12 in. drilling depth - provides sufficient reach to fully remove obstructing rebar so the hole can be completed to the required depth
• Approximately 15 in. overall length - gives the user adequate working clearance in tight or confined drilling situations
• Compatible shank design - shanks work with all sizes of rebar cutters, allowing you to pair this bit with the appropriate shank adaptor for the rotohammer in use (shank adaptor sold separately)

Why This Product

• Keeps drilling on track when rebar gets in the way - rather than relocating a hole or abandoning the intended anchor point, this bit lets you remove the obstruction and complete the hole exactly where the layout requires it
• Built to production standards for jobsite demands - manufactured to demanding tolerances, this Simpson Strong-Tie rebar cutter is engineered to perform consistently across the drilling and demolition tasks that slow projects down
• Fits into your existing rotohammer setup - because shanks work with all sizes of rebar cutters, you can match this bit to the rotohammer you already own simply by selecting the correct shank adaptor, avoiding the need for dedicated or incompatible equipment
• Part of a proven, complete drilling system - Simpson Strong-Tie backs this cutter with a full line of premium drill bits, core bits, and chisels, so contractors and installers can source compatible tooling from a single trusted manufacturer
