Milwaukee Tool is changing the game for professionals who work with steel reinforcement, introducing the M18 FUE 32mm Rebar Cutter with ONE-KEY. This tool is designed to make tough jobs faster, cleaner and safer. Built for the demands of construction sites, fabrication workshops and infrastructure projects, this next-generation cutter combines Milwaukee’s legendary power with smart technology to deliver unmatched performance.

Forget the old days of noisy grinders throwing sparks across the jobsite. Milwaukee’s 18 FUE 32mm Rebar Cutter with ONE-KE makes clean, precise cuts through steel rods up to 32mm thick, without the heat or dangerous sparks of abrasive wheels. It powers through 16mm rebar in just two seconds, keeping your workflow moving with minimal downtime. The cold-cutting technology means you can work confidently near sensitive materials or in tight spaces, with no risk of ignition from flying sparks.

At the heart of this tool is Milwaukee’s signature POWERSTAT brushless motor, delivering the strength to cut through heavy rebar while maintaining consistent performance throughout the workday. The intelligent ONE-KEY system lets you customise settings for different jobs, optimising both power and battery life. Safety gets a major boost too with the automatic Cut-Brake system that stops the blade instantly when engaged, while an integrated LED light ensures visibility in dim conditions.

Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The adjustable anti-vibration handle reduces fatigue during extended use, and clever onboard storage keeps hex wrenches handy for quick blade changes. Milwaukee understands that tradies need tools that work as hard as they do, which is why the cutter delivers up to 230 cuts on a single charge with an M1 HIGH OUTPU battery. A full day’s work without constant battery swaps means more productivity and less frustration.

What sets this tool apart is how it fits into Milwaukee’s broader M18 system. With over 250 compatible tools in the lineup, professionals can rely on one battery platform to power everything from drills to saws, and now this heavy-duty rebar cutter. It’s this ecosystem approach that makes Milwaukee the choice of serious tradespeople who demand reliability across all their equipment.

“From bridge builders to concrete contractors, the M18 FUEL Rebar Cutter is built to tackle the most demanding steel-cutting applications,” explains Milwaukee senior product manager, Chris Parker.

“This isn’t just another power tool, it’s a smarter way to work, combining brute strength with precision engineering to help professionals work faster, safer and more efficiently.”
