Rebar Bender and Cutter to Die for
This is truly a gift to anyone involved in bending and cutting. One of my helpers wants to own one before he dies! This is the mans life wish to own one. I bought the VB 16 Y when it first came out and never once thought about the price once I started turning out consistent bends in 3 seconds.You can cut a ton of steel w/o breaking a sweat! This machine is durable, strong, and reliable. I hope you also get the chance to "play" with one some day.

My Wife is Excited About This Tool
The VB16Y is a remarkable tool. I'm building my own home and there are few significant tasks I can get a 5 ft. tall 105 lb. wife to do. But with the VB16Y I can set up an assembly line and my wife now cuts and bends rebar. It's really that simple. The tool is light enough (around 45 lb.) I can bring it down to the job site. It's bends are repeatable and the tool is remarkably rugged. I bought mine used for our construction but if you are in the business you need this tool and I wouldn't be scared off by the price.

New innovation
