 I'd give it 10 stars !!!!!! GREAT MACHINE December 24, 2005

If you work with rebar up to #5 grade 60 this is a great tool.
I work with tons of rebar on every job.
The price is definetly worth it.
pays for itself in labor.....quickly.
Cuts quick and does precise preset or custom bends.
has no problem doing #5.
Well egineered and a joy to use.
easy to carry around.
HITACHI really thought this one out.
I can't see anything that would make it better.
My Wife is Excited About This Tool November 14, 2005

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.
 Rebar Bender and Cutter to Die for December 11, 2002

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.

This awesome machine caught my eye at a tool show in Hawaii.. I was amazed at how portable and versatile it was. What made me buy it was its ability to cut up to #5 rebar and custom bend stirrups and angles, ... ALOHA
