Speed, safety, and reliability keep projects on schedule and teams efficient on a busy job site. However, these priorities can clash with tight workspaces and limited power access. What if you need to cut through steel without a nearby outlet or space for bulky equipment? A cordless bolt cutter like the BSC-18X by RAPIDTOOL solves this issue—it removes the need for cables or external power, enabling quick progress while ensuring clean, accurate cuts, even in confined or remote areas.
Not just a bolt cutter
Although it’s called a bolt cutter, the BSC-18X is engineered for far more demanding tasks. Unlike traditional bolt cutters designed mainly for cutting padlocks or soft metals, this cordless tool is built with the strength and precision of a shear rebar cutter. It easily cuts through 12mm to 16mm steel reinforcing bars — materials far tougher than typical bolts — with no sparks and very little noise. It still handles chains and padlocks effortlessly, but its real advantage is tackling heavy-duty cutting jobs that standard bolt cutters simply aren’t made for.
Accomplish more in a day.
Powered by an 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery, the BSC-18X cordless shear cutter delivers up to 150 cuts on 16mm rebar — or up to 320 cuts on 12mm steel — on a full charge. It’s lightweight and ergonomic making it easy to use in cramped areas. The shear-style cutting head and cordless design make it ideal for job sites where space and access are limited.
Convenient to use
One of the ergonomic features of the BSC-18X cordless bolt cutter is the 360-degree rotating head. It eliminates the need to bend or twist your hand and wrist when working on difficult-to-access areas. The detachable handle also adds another layer of versatility allowing you adapt the tool to the task.
Advanced features
Earlier cordless cutters often came with trade-offs — too much noise, vibration, or internal wear. The BSC-18X addresses this with brushless motor technology that extends the tool’s lifespan while reducing maintenance. It cuts smoothly and quietly, without shaking your hands or disturbing your crew.
Safety features
Every detail of the BSC-18X reflects a focus on safe, professional-grade use. Smart controls and a built-in warning system help prevent misuse, while the electric hydraulic system ensures consistent and controlled cutting pressure. Spark-free operation also reduces fire risks.
Easy to carry and store
The BSC-18X cordless bolt cutter comes with a carry case for convenient storage and transport. This case also protects the tool from tampering or debris when not in use, preventing damage and extending its service life.
Why use a cordless rebar cutter?
A cordless bolt cutter like the BSC-18X frees you from cords and power constraints while delivering high performance across a wide range of cutting needs. From rebar and steel rods to chains, padlocks and bolts, this is one tool that can reduce downtime and improve site safety — keeping your crew productive and efficient.
