Makita DSC163 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Steel Rebar Cutter

The Makita DSC163 is an 18v cordless rebar cutter designed for cutting steel reinforcement bar up to 16mm diameter on construction and groundwork sites. Part of Makita's LXT system, this brushless tool delivers fast, clean cuts without the dust, sparks or noise associated with disc cutters or angle grinders.

Powered by Makita's 18v LXT lithium-ion battery platform (sold separately), this cordless rebar cutter offers genuine site mobility without trailing leads or generators. The brushless motor technology ensures efficient power delivery, extended runtime and minimal maintenance requirements – ideal for contractors working across multiple locations or where mains power access is limited.

The compact, ergonomic design features a soft-grip handle for comfortable operation during repetitive cutting tasks. A 360-degree rotating head allows the tool to adapt to different cutting positions and awkward working angles, whilst the conveniently positioned reversing switch enables quick adjustment. The integrated LED work light illuminates the cutting area in poorly lit conditions such as basements or early morning starts.

Safety features include an electric brake for rapid blade stopping, a lock-off lever to prevent accidental activation, and a battery protection system that automatically shuts down when charge levels become critically low. A return valve mechanism automatically retracts the cutting head to the start position if the tool becomes jammed or encounters material it cannot cut, protecting both the mechanism and the workpiece.
