Rebar Cutters and Benders from Benner-Nawman
Background
Steel reinforced concrete offers inherent fire resistant, durability, seismic and blast resistance, cost and energy saving, and robustness –qualities clearly in demand as designers seek cost-effective ways to provide security and multi-hazard mitigation. For more than 100 years, reinforced concrete has been the construction material of choice to meet transportation needs, commonly used for bridges, continuously reinforced concrete pavement, freight and passenger rail and airports. Other reinforced concrete construction uses include structural floors, tilt-up systems, post-tensioning, reinforced masonry and architectural precast. While it is recommended that reinforcing bars be shop fabricated, portable rebar cutting and bending tools have gained popularity because contractors can save time and money by fabricating the rebar, including epoxy coated, in their shop or at the jobsite.
Company Advantages
ISHIHARA KIKAI KOGYO Co, Ltd. now IKK Co. in Numazu City, Japan is the originator of the DIAMOND hand-held rebar cutters and benders. They have been manufacturing these types of tools longer than any other manufacturer. Their quality and reliability have proven to be the best over the years with tool refinements and innovations that keep the competition far below DIAMOND quality and standards. Benner-Nawman has represented these superior rebar cutters and benders in the Western hemisphere since 1981. Benner-Nawman rates all our tools at grade 60. Some of our competitors omit what grade their tools will cut, that’s because it’s the softer grade 40 rebar. Our extensive product line ranges from powerful cordless rebar cutters, electric rebar cutters, portable rebar benders for in-place applications, 0-180 degree table-top rebar benders, combination rebar bender and cutter units, workstations for shop rebar fabrication, and highway-ready trailer units for remote jobsites.
