FAQs

Q: What is the Milwaukee 3675-20 M18 FUEL Rebar Cutter designed for?

The 3675-20 M18 FUEL is a cordless, battery-operated rebar cutter that can swiftly and effectively cut rebar up to 5/8 inch (16 mm) in diameter. It is designed for tradespeople and construction professionals who require accurate, quick, and portable rebar cutting without the need for manual tools.

Q: What diameter of rebar can it cut?

Rebar up to 16 mm (5/8 inch) can be cut with the Milwaukee 3675-20. Cutting larger rebar could result in a dangerous operation or damage to the instrument.

Q: Does it have a maintenance-free motor?

Indeed, the FUEL motor is brushless, which lowers maintenance needs while increasing tool life, runtime, and efficiency.

Q: Is the cutter portable enough for job sites?

Indeed, it is small and cordless, which makes it perfect for distant areas without power access, construction sites, and rebar fabrication.

Q: How do I replace the battery?

On the battery’s sides, press the release buttons. Carefully remove the battery. A fully charged M18 battery should be inserted until it clicks into position. Before using the battery, make sure it is firmly locked.

Q: How can I maximise productivity on the job site?

Have several fully charged M18 batteries on hand. Before cutting, arrange rebar according to size and kind. To avoid jams, clean your jaw on a regular basis. Avoid using the cutter while holding heavy rebar in midair; instead, use it on sturdy surfaces.
