Cordless threaded rod cutter that makes burr-free cuts in coarse-threaded mild steel (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") and stainless steel (1/4", 3/8"). Uses a four-sided rotatable cutting die so one die can be rotated to match the desired rod size. The tool cuts without creating chips or sparks and is designed to provide consistent control for repetitive trimming tasks. The kit includes a battery and charger.
Project Ideas
Business
On-Site Rod Cutting for MEP Trades
Offer mobile cutting for electricians, HVAC, and plumbers installing hangers for conduit, cable tray, and duct. Measure, cut, and label rods to length on-site with chip- and spark-free safety for finished spaces. Monetize per cut, per hour, or by bundle (e.g., 100 cuts of 3/8").
Pre-Cut, Labeled Rod Kits
Provide project packs: pre-measured, bagged, and labeled threaded rods by room/zone from takeoffs. Include stainless 1/4"/3/8" or mild-steel 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" as specified. Sell as time-saving kits with QR-coded length maps to reduce installer labor and waste.
Hardware Store Cutting Station
Partner with a local hardware or electrical supply house to offer in-store custom cuts. Customers buy full-length rod, you cut to requested sizes on the spot. Charge per cut or tiered bundles; the clean, burr-free ends are a value-add over hacksawing.
Tool Rental + Micro-Training
Rent the cordless cutter to contractors and DIYers for weekend installs. Include a quick-start card, spare die, and thread-protection tips. Offer an optional 30-minute on-site setup/training upsell and a consumables kit (nuts, washers, couplers).
Design Plans + Pre-Cut Kits
Sell digital plans for rod-based furniture/lighting and ship matching pre-cut rod bundles. Use the four-sided die to produce precise lengths that align with the plans, and upsell hardware packs. Promote via tutorial videos and social channels.
Creative
Modular Industrial Shelving
Build adjustable shelves or closet systems using threaded rod uprights and nuts/washers for shelf height adjustment. The cutter’s burr-free ends keep threads clean so shelves level easily, and you can rapidly make uniform 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" mild-steel lengths (or 1/4"/3/8" stainless for a sleeker look). Rotate the die to swap sizes for mixed aesthetics.
Geometric Pendant Lights
Create polygonal chandelier frames and pendant cages from threaded rod with coupling nuts as joints. Burr-free cuts mean fixtures assemble smoothly without cross-threading. Stainless 1/4"/3/8" rods give a refined finish; the spark-free cutting is safer when prototyping indoors.
Plant Trellis & Hanging Grid
Design a ceiling-suspended grid for hanging planters and vines. Precisely cut multiple equal lengths for a clean, architectural look. Use mild steel 3/8" for strength; the LED light helps you nail repeatable cuts for symmetrical spans.
Kinetic Sculpture Linkages
Build kinetic mobiles or clockwork-style mechanisms using threaded rods as adjustable-length linkages. Consistent, burr-free cuts keep movement smooth and fasteners secure. The forward/reverse switch helps fine-tune trimming when balancing parts by grams.
Pop-up Display Frames
Assemble modular photo backdrops, signage frames, or art display grids that pack flat. Threaded rods allow micro-adjustments on-site; clean ends won’t snag fabrics or graphics. Cut multiples quickly for standardized panels.
