Dryrod Damp Proofing Rod Cutter

Can cut the rods with a knife but this makes the job a lot easier.

For the first dry rod project I undertook I thought I could save money by cutting the rods down with a sharp knife. I found this surprisingly difficult, and the same with scissors. The problem is the rods are actually surprisingly tough. I bought this tool for a subsequent dry rod project and found that it cuts the dry rods down to size effortlessly - giving a very clean cut i’m saving a great deal of time (and mess). You don’t have to cut rods down if using in a solid brick wall (9”), but for single leaf walls or cavity walls etc you’ll need to cut rods down. Therefore you have any cutting to do at all I’s highly recommend not being without this tool.

Does what they say in the dry rod system. Cuts clean and accurate rods for insertion into drilled mortar holes. Length of cutter is just right for the recommended spacing of holes -120 mm. Bit pricey for what it is and you could get away with a Stanley knife and ruler in all honesty but good confidence that you won't deform the rod with this tool and a good fit in the hole is necessary to make the damp get to the rod and start the reaction off. Yh

Item arrived promptly, good quality and condition.

Wow - it takes real craftsmanship for this to break on the first cut - well done!

Did the job

Does what it’s suppose to. Only thing is, way over priced for what it is. But that’s how they get you I suppose…. Would I buy again? No not for what it is and the quality of it but it is good. Once you have seen what it is an what it’s like you can 100% get something similar to it.

Very sharp cutter and easier to use on the product than a stanly knife.

Yo pensaba que estaba comprando alguna "máquina" específica para cortar las cañas. Con un cúter puedes hacer la misma función.

Connaissant bien le produit à couper, je doutais, ce petit outil est d'une parfaite efficacité, gain de temps et de qualité de travail. Vraiment parfait.

Not a good product, the blade to cut the rods is very fragile. It broke off after cutting 3 rods. Had to cut the rest of them using a Stanley knife which worked better than this tool.

Ich benötigte das Produkt zum Kürzen, von getränkten Horizontalsperre Stäbchen. Mit diesem Gerät, war dieser Vorgang, problemlos, zu bewerkstelligen. Bei einer vorherigen Stäbchenkürzung, habe ich versucht, die Schnitte, mit einer Schere oder einem Messer, durchzuführen. Dies erwies sich als sehr schwierig und führte dazu, dass die Flüssigkeit, aus den Stäbchen gequetscht wurde. Mit dem Cutter passierte dies nicht mehr und die Schnitte waren leichter und sauberer, auszuführen.
