    1. PRODUCT NAME Hitachi Portable Rebar Cutter/Bender, Model VB 13Y 2. MARKETING OBJECTIVE A compact and lightweight power tool that reduces worker fatigue and enhances work efficiency. 3. APPLICATIONS Cutting and bending of rebars (concrete reinforcing rod) during construction of foundations and external structures.

  • Page 5: Selling Point Descriptions

    (5/8")), the Model VB 13Y is half the price of the electro-hydraulic cutter/bender and the cost/performance ratio is excellent. This is because the Model VB 13Y is equipped with a gear and a cam instead of a hydraulic system for cutting rebars, and an advanced microprocessor instead of an electromagnetic clutch for bending rebars.
  • Page 6 5-1-10. Low height The Model VB 13Y has a unique design, with the bending unit being lower than the motor unit, to give the bender added stability when bending long rebars. Although the maximum capacity rebar diameter is smaller than another maker's electric cutter/bender, the Model VB 13Y is convenient to use thanks to its lower height (135 mm (5-5/ 16")) while the other maker's electric cutter/bender is 245 mm (9-41/64") high.
