Cuts #3 rebar well. Pretty basic tool and it does what it is supposed to. I've done about 40 cuts with it and it doesn't show any wear. Took forever to ship and I almost sent it back because I was half way done with the project, cutting the steel with a hack saw. In the end I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. I hate cutting rebar with bolt cutters and this is much better and more accurate.
