Value Collection 38488 Rebar Cutter Drill Bit 2 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38488 is a carbide rebar cutter drill bit designed for cutting through steel rebar embedded in concrete and masonry. The bit measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and features a half-flat shank for secure chuck engagement, reducing bit slippage during high-torque drilling applications. Carbide construction provides the hardness needed to penetrate hardened steel rebar without rapid wear. Each package contains two bits. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for rebar cutter bits when core drilling or anchor-bolt work intersects embedded reinforcement.

This drill bit is suited for use on job sites where concrete slabs, walls, or footings contain rebar that must be cut or drilled through. Typical applications include cutting anchor points, running conduit or pipe sleeves through reinforced concrete, and general demolition drilling where rebar interference is encountered. The carbide tip handles the transition from concrete to embedded steel without requiring a separate bit change.

Key Features

• Carbide tool material provides hardness for cutting through hardened steel rebar
• 0.1875 inch bit diameter for precise hole sizing
• Half-flat shank design reduces slippage in drill chucks during high-torque use
• Two bits per package for backup availability on the job
• Compatible with standard rotary or hammer drills accepting the listed shank diameter

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary and hammer drills equipped with chucks that accept a 0.1970 inch half-flat shank. Suitable for drilling through reinforced concrete, masonry, and embedded steel rebar.

Installation Notes

Installation of rebar cutter bits should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with concrete drilling and rebar cutting procedures. Ensure the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully secured before beginning work. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when cutting through steel and concrete. Do not apply side-loading force to the bit, as carbide tips are brittle and prone to fracture under lateral stress.
