UP TO THE COMPETITION
Comparing today’s rebar fabrication equipment can be confusing.
Some of the confusion is in the words used to describe the equipment’s
benefits. The following example reveals how several rebar fabrication
equipment manufactures define the word "portable": Some company’s
claim that by placing their rebar fabrication machines on a trailer
and pulling it from job to job, their system is " portable".
Others claim that it takes only two men to lift their machine on to
the back of a flat bed truck. They also define their system as "
portable". Yet, other manufactures describe their hand-operated
tools weighing 50, 60, 70 pounds or more as "portable". Further,
and for good reason, most of their construction site pictures illustrate
their tools sitting on the ground.
We feel the EZE BEND SYSTEM illustrates the true meaning of the word
‘portable’. When compared to competitive tools that operate
at the same capacity, every EZE BEND Bender and Cutter is significantly
lighter. For example, the EZE BEND 6-Bender, at just 17 pounds, and
EZE BEND 8-Cutter, at just 37 pounds, are nearly one-half the weight
of the closest competitors tool.
At a glance, it is easy to see that the EZE BEND Benders and Cutters
are significantly smaller. The smaller size is important when reaching
inside of formwork or within a maze of existing rebar. The size and
weight make the EZE BEND SYSTEM the most easily manipulated tool on
the market.
Every EZE BEND Bender and Cutter also rotates 360 degrees. This feature
allows cast-in-place rebar fabrication and enhances construction site
rebar placement. HOW DOES THE EZE BEND SYSTEM
DIFFER FROM ALL OTHER
REBAR FABRICATION SYSTEMS?
1. All EZE BEND Benders and Cutters can be held and operated with just
a single hand.
2. Compared to hand operated tools of equal capacity, the EZE BEND Benders
and Cutters are lighter, smaller, and rotate 360 degrees.
These first
two differences open the door for greater application possibilities.
For example, the EZE BEND Benders and Cutters can be used for production
fabrication or at the point of rebar installation. By rotating the head,
they can reach inside of forms or fabricate cast-in-place rebar. For
greater SAFETY, they can be easily operated with one hand while the
other is left completely free. A separate hydraulic pump powers the
EZE BEND SYSTEM. Employing a separate pump specifically enables each
of the following features.
1. Lightweight Benders and Cutters – The pump provides the system’s
power, allowing a basic and lightweight ‘cylinder with a button’
design for each tool.
2. Simplicity and Dependability – With the power needs provided
by the pump, the Benders and Cutters are manufactured with just a few
dozen dependable components.
3. Voltage – The standard electrical power voltage is conveniently
stepped down at the pump, leaving just 20 safe volts in the hand of
the operator.
4. Forgiving action – The dump-style hydraulic pump allows the
oil to flow immediately back in to the tank whenever the button is released.
This unique feature enables last-second corrections, incremental operation
that is required for bar straightening, and a greater ability to avoid
personal injury.
5. Enerpac – EZE BEND INC. chose pumps manufactured by the industry’s
leader in hydraulics, Enerpac. Authorized service centers are available
nationwide, providing security and dependability to the entire system.
6. Made in the USA – By depending on Enerpac for the hydraulic
pumps, EZE BEND INC. can place 100 percent effort on the Benders, Cutters,
and Hoses. This insures quality American construction on all components.
Most rebar fabrication equipment is manufactured in a foreign country.
The cheap mass production procedures are easy to identify. The forging
process is a typical indicator.
Just look closely at every EZE BEND product. You will see exact mill
work on hardened steel. You will see consistent pride in workmanship,
guaranteed.
