Hydraulic Rescue Spreader Cutter

The ODETOOLS BC-300 is a battery-operated electric combi rescue tool (spreader and cutter) designed for emergency responders to cut and spread metal and other materials during vehicle extrication and rescue operations.

Theoretical cutting force is 313.8 kN with a cutting capacity of up to 25 mm round steel or 10 mm steel plate. Spreading force is 33.26 kN with a spreading distance of 306 mm and a pulling distance of 200 mm.

The BC-300 is battery-operated using a DC 18V 4.0Ah battery. The product specification also lists 220V, which refers to the AC input for the charger/charging system.

The hydraulic system is rated at 630 bar working pressure.

Net weight (N.W.) is 13.1 kg and gross weight (G.W.) is 26.0 kg. Overall dimensions are 720 × 370 × 150 mm.

Battery runtime and the number of operations per charge depend on material thickness, type of operation, and duty cycle. Manufacturer-specific runtime or cuts-per-charge data is not provided in the listing—check ODETOOLS documentation or contact the supplier for test data.

Use the supplied or manufacturer-approved charger with 220V AC input to charge the DC 18V battery. Follow the charger and battery instructions in the user manual for charging times and safe charging practice.

Replacement blades, seals and other service parts are typically available from ODETOOLS or authorized dealers. Always use manufacturer-approved replacement parts to ensure correct fit and safe operation.

Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, helmet), ensure the tool is inspected before use, keep bystanders clear, never exceed specified cutting/spreading capacities, secure the workpiece, and follow the manufacturer’s operation and safety instructions. Only trained personnel should operate the tool.

Regularly inspect blades and moving parts for wear, check for hydraulic leaks, keep coupling and fasteners tight, keep the tool clean and lubricated as recommended by the manufacturer, and follow the scheduled service intervals specified in the user manual. Have hydraulic systems serviced by qualified technicians.

The product listing does not specify included accessories. Many rescue tools are sold with at least a battery and charger and may include a carrying case—verify the exact bundle with the seller before purchase.

Yes. The tool is designed for rescue operations in confined spaces due to its combined cutting and spreading function and portable form factor, but always assess clearance, access, and safety considerations at the incident scene.

The product description does not list specific certifications. For CE, EN, NFPA or other certification details, request documentation from ODETOOLS or your authorized distributor.

This tool is intended for professional emergency responders—fire departments, rescue teams and trained first responders. Proper hands-on training and familiarity with extrication techniques and safety procedures are required before use.

Store the tool and battery in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and corrosive environments. Remove the battery for long-term storage per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Transport in a secure carrying case to prevent damage and protect connectors and cutting edges.
