After decades of cutting rebar by hand (giant bolt-cutter) this is a pleasure. Sure, it's loud and sure, it's a little slow, but pushing a button is a lot easier than wrestling the handles of the giant bolt-cutter. I used this cutter to cut heavy chain and it got bound up every third cut while in the cutting position. I had to use a grinding wheel to release the pressure so the cutter would retract. So I'd stick to rebar with this one.
