Bosch 18V Max Brushless Cordless Threaded Rod Cutter GGC18V-12N Bare Tool

The Bosch GGC18V-12N 18V Max Brushless Cordless Threaded Rod Cutter functions as an industrial fabrication power tool engineered to shear mild and stainless steel threaded rods without sparks, noise, or burrs. Driven by an advanced brushless motor, this 18V specialized cutter processes 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch mild steel rods, as well as 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch stainless steel rods using continuous-pressure mechanical shearing dies. Featuring an automatic die reset mechanism, an adjustable material depth gauge, an LED worklight, and a net bare tool weight of 7.5 pounds, this cordless shear enables electrical contractors and HVAC mechanics to execute clean overhead ceiling cuts where nuts spin onto rod ends immediately without manual deburring.

**Battery and charger sold separately.**

Best Used For:

  • Overhead Unistrut & Pipe Hanger Drop Sizing: Shearing 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch mild steel threaded rods directly in ceiling bays for trapeze hangers and electrical conduit racks.
  • Burr-Free Pre-Fabrication Benchtop Cutting: Sizing large quantities of threaded rod on jobsite workbenches using the flat frame base and adjustable depth gauge for repeatable lengths.
  • Spark-Free HVAC & Plumbing Retrofits: Cutting stainless steel hanger rods in active commercial buildings where hot-work permits, sparks, and abrasive grinding dust are restricted.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Multi-Size Shearing Die Capacity: Processes 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch mild steel as well as 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch stainless steel threaded rods on a single die block.
  • Burr-Free Sparkless Cutting Mechanism: Mechanical shearing action yields clean rod ends that immediately accept standard nuts and anchors without grinding or filing.
  • Automatic Die Reset Functionality: Auto-stop electronic sensor automatically reverses and opens the shearing dies post-cut for immediate repetitive cycle passes.
  • Adjustable Repeatable Material Depth Gauge: Sizing bar mechanism ensures consistent, uniform drop-line lengths across high-volume strut hanging projects.
  • Dual-Position Flat Frame Design: Balanced ergonomic housing transitions seamlessly between overhead ceiling cuts and stationary benchtop operation.
  • Integrated LED Worklight & Rafter Hook: Bright LED illuminates dark utility ceiling bays while the folding steel hook secures the tool to ladders or scaffolding.

Pro-Tip: Before making overhead cuts, ensure the rotating die block is rotated to match the exact diameter marking of the threaded rod being cut (e.g., align the 3/8-inch die slot for 3/8-inch rod). Matching the die slot precisely prevents thread flattening during the shear cycle, guaranteeing that steel nuts spin on smoothly by hand.
