Multiquip HBC-19B 3/4" (#6) Handheld Electric Rebar Cutter
The Multiquip HBC-19B 3/4-inch handheld electro-hydraulic rebar cutter shears through heavy Grade 60 structural reinforcing steel, foundation grid mesh, and concrete dowels across commercial footings, bridge decks, and precast fabrication yards. Powered by an 11.5 Amp 115V single-phase electric motor driving a high-pressure hydraulic piston, this portable cutting machine slices #6 (0.75-inch) rebar in 2.5 seconds without generating sparks, open flames, or abrasive wheel dust. Featuring multi-sided rotatable heat-treated alloy steel cutting blocks, a magnetic particle fluid filtration system to protect internal hydraulic valving, and a rugged molded carrying case, it equips ironworkers, concrete contractors, and masonry specialists with fast cold-cutting performance in a lightweight 28.2-pound frame.
Best Used For:
- Commercial Foundation and Footing Grid Work: Shearing structural rebar mats, cage assemblies, and foundation grade beam dowels directly in the trench without torch permits.
- Bridge Deck and Highway Infrastructure: Sizing epoxy-coated and high-tensile Grade 60 reinforcing bars on elevated civil construction decks.
- Precast Concrete and Masonry Wall Construction: Trimming vertical cell rebar, bond beam rods, and lintel steel flush to specified elevation heights.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Fast 2.5-Second Cutting Cycle: Electro-hydraulic drive delivers rapid, burr-free cuts through #6 (3/4-inch) Grade 60 rebar to maintain rapid installation workflow.
- 11.5 Amp High-Torque Electric Motor: 115V single-phase powerplant provides consistent cutting tonnage from standard temporary power boxes and portable generators.
- Four-Sided Rotatable Cutting Blocks: Heat-treated alloy steel cutter blocks rotate to four individual edges to deliver extended service life before replacement.
- Magnetic Particle Fluid Filtration: Integrated hydraulic filter traps fine metallic particulate to prevent valve score wear and prolong pump seal life.
- Spark-Free Cold-Cutting Operation: Mechanical shear action eliminates hot sparks and open flames, eliminating the need for hot-work permits in sensitive work areas.
- Lightweight Jobsite Portability: 28.2-pound balanced frame allows effortless one-operator maneuvering across slab grids and elevated staging.

Pro-Tip: Before beginning a production run, adjust the rear bar stopper bolt so the rebar rests perpendicular to the shear jaws; maintaining an exact 90-degree alignment prevents blade twisting, extends cutting block life, and ensures clean square cuts every cycle.
