Cut rebar is very sharp so building code requires these caps.
Made of high impact plastic with a metal plate embedded in them.
Need to be OSHA compliant to guard against impalement..

Some people say that when the rebar is horizontal you can get away with lower cost safety caps as there is less danger of falling on the protruding rebar. Personally I think it's best to always use OSHA compliant, but the less expensive type are available from Lowes for $9.10 for 25. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=194740-46086-714718&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3363616&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 Made by "Steel Linx".
