The BN Products-USA, LLC DC-16LZ #5 Portable Rebar Cutter is a medium-duty electric/hydraulic shear tool built for safe, efficient, and clean cutting of rebar up to #5 (5/8 in.) diameter grade 60. As a self-contained unit weighing just 15 lbs., it delivers 13 tons of cutting force in as little as 2 seconds - making it an ideal hydraulic rebar cutter for swimming pool contractors, masonry professionals, and general construction crews tackling vertical and horizontal rebar cutting applications. Beyond rebar, this portable cutting tool handles chain, bolts, and rod, giving job site crews a versatile shear solution without the hazards of abrasive saw blades or cutting torches.

Key Features

• Cold-cutting shear technology - produces no sparks or open flame, unlike abrasive blade saws or cutting torches, keeping the work environment safer on active job sites
• 13 tons of cutting pressure in just 2 seconds - delivers a consistent, clean shear every time so crews can maintain steady workflow without stopping to recut
• Lightweight at 15 lbs. - easy to carry and maneuver on site, reducing fatigue during repeated vertical and horizontal rebar cutting tasks
• Safety relief valve included - automatically retracts the piston after each cut, protecting the tool and the operator from hydraulic overpressure
• Cutting guard included as standard - provides physical protection for the user during operation without requiring a separate purchase
• Ships complete in a carrying case with hydraulic oil and a tool kit - ready to use right out of the box with no additional accessories required
• Backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty - provides documented coverage and peace of mind for medium-duty professional use

Why This Product

• Eliminates spark and flame hazards - the cold-cutting shear design makes this rebar cutter suitable for environments where open flame or abrasive grinding sparks pose a risk, such as pools under construction or enclosed masonry work areas
• Cuts grade 60 rebar up to #5 (5/8 in.) diameter - precisely matched to the rebar sizes most commonly used in swimming pool, masonry, and general construction, so you get the right tool for the job without overpaying for excess capacity
• Fully self-contained electric/hydraulic unit at 15 lbs. - no external hydraulic power pack or heavy compressor needed, reducing setup time and improving portability across job sites
• Complete kit in a carrying case - the tool ships with hydraulic oil, a tool kit, and a cutting guard already included, minimizing the additional items a contractor needs to source before getting to work

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the DC-16LZ cut materials other than rebar?

Yes. While the DC-16LZ is specifically designed for rebar, this self-contained electric/hydraulic shear can also cut chain, bolts, and rod, making it a versatile addition to a contractor's tool inventory.

Does this rebar cutter produce sparks during use?

No. The DC-16LZ uses a cold-cutting shear mechanism, which means it generates no sparks and involves no open flame - unlike abrasive blade saws or cutting torches. This makes it a safer option for job sites where sparks or heat are a concern.

What is included with the DC-16LZ when it ships?

The DC-16LZ ships as a complete kit inside a carrying case and includes hydraulic oil, a tool kit, and a cutting guard for user protection - so the tool is ready to use upon arrival.

What rebar grade and size does the DC-16LZ support?

The DC-16LZ is rated to cut rebar up to #5 (5/8 in. diameter, 16mm) at grade 60. It is intended for medium-duty applications and is well suited to swimming pool, masonry, and general construction work involving this common rebar specification.
