Makita DSC163ZK 18V LXT Brushless Steel Rebar Cutter in a Carry Case (Body Only)
The Makita DSC163ZK 18V LXT Brushless Steel Rebar Cutter in a Carry Case (Body Only) is a cordless rebar and rod cutter designed for fast, clean cutting of steel reinforcement on construction and groundwork projects. Powered by Makita’s 18V LXT lithium-ion platform and a durable brushless motor, it delivers rapid 2.8 second cuts through steel up to 16 mm in diameter without generating dust or sparks, making it a practical alternative to abrasive disc cutters and grinders. A 360-degree rotating head, ergonomic soft-grip handle and compact body support comfortable use in tight, overhead or awkward positions, while the integrated LED job light improves visibility in poorly lit areas. Safety and reliability are enhanced by an electric brake, return valve, and a battery protection circuit that guards against overload, overheating and over-discharge. Supplied as a body-only rebar cutter with a robust Makita carry case, it is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers, with oil and hex wrench included where specified.
