The Rebar Club is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay
This crude weapon is a piece of concrete with three pieces of rebar sticking out of it. In addition, the bottom of the three rebars is wound together with a strip of brown leather or cloth to make a handle. The club requires a Strength of 9 and a Melee Weapons skill of 50 for it to be at its maximum potential.
Special attack
It has a special Mauler attack that does regular damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 8 more action points, but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee Weapons skill of 50).

The Rebar Club can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.
