How to choose formwork and rebar tools

  • Rod diameter: choose the rebar cutter according to the thickness and hardness of the steel; on the 6009N, the 450 mm model cuts 8 mm soft rod and the 1050 mm model cuts up to 19 mm.
  • Diameter of the bar to bend: the 5985 hook comes in eight models for bars from 8 to 22 mm.
  • Lever length: a longer formwork stripper gives more leverage for less effort.
  • Handle: concrete rakes and some shovels are sold without a handle, so choose a compatible Bellota handle.
