Rebar B02 date code?
on: February 10, 2018, 01:38:22 PM
Folks, someone just asked me what's the meaning of the B02 code inside his Rebar. He was trying to locate the date stamp and saw B02. I tried to search this forum for the answer but couldn't find any. Help please?  :think:

I just checked mine and true enough, it also has only B02 on it. Thanks, Steve!  :cheers:

I think I read something like they used to do date stamp. But soon realise that many of the stamps was appearing on the opposite side.. Then they stopped. I think earlier ones have it.

I actually don't mind. Since my eyesights arent 20/20 anymore, the first time I saw the code, I only noticed 02 and assumed my Rebar was made in 2002--forgetting that the Rebar was only introduced in 2012  :twak:   :D

Same here. My Rebar says "B02" on both lockbars. I believe that it is a code for the mold/die used for the lockbar, as opposed to a date stamping.
