you guys are quick. how do you fellas feel about the stick twister? im just getting back into concrete and while nips are good, I used the stick twister for a bit and its really good and slightly less bending over.
I cut and bend rebar, I always wondered what happened after the fact. I thought my job was hard until I saw this video. But we do sell re bar tying guns at our facility that can tie up a piece of rebar in half the time. I showed it off to some rod busters that came through and they've never looked back. Well worth the investment and less carpal tunnel.
Rebar tie guns make what kind of tie? A snap tie only as far as the ones I have seen, they are great when that is all you need but in many circumstances you need a different tie like a figure 8 or a saddle or either one of those with a wrap, or any of the above in double wire, hence unless the work your are doing is all snap ties they are useless, not to mention when many of the tie machines were brought out to demo on the job I was able to out run them! I will concede that is not the norm, but I am a 4th generation master iron worker with over 16 years in the rod patch and many more as supervision, building poured in place high rise buildings, tilt panel buildings and bridges among other things (-;
@@whitey22222 yes only snap ties, but I'd recommend the Max twin tier it doubles up but yes it only does snap ties, but a lot of youngins coming into the field don't have the experience you do, and they certainly will be slower without the guns. Much respect to you though, it's definitely not a job for everybody.
@@whitey22222 that’s what I thought too but if you watch the guy in the high vis shirt he only does a single loop tie. So the tie gun would work fine here. We always have to saddle tie though
I am a Hong Kong Ironworker It's very interesting to see a different way to tie to wire Coz, normally the wire are seperated from the wire round, and which is cut as 16 inches for each wire The other thing is, we dont use the pliers, we use a hook/goose to tie the iron Wanna try this way Once i get to Canada 🤞🏻
@@midwestoenr4905 if you have to ask your not a rodbuster your just a buster 🤣🤣 Commenting on every rod page two months in the patch. Noise up bud id fucking bury you.
@@steeltown416 would love to race ya mate, be a good bit of fun seeing how y'all do everything differently Even screeding is done in a different way to what you guys do
Those are not snap ties, they're called Tabb Ties. I created that. My name. lol nobody tied rods from the left side intersection. I started that back in 1999. My company was called Unity 4 construction. I was thee fastest rod tier in Western PA. Nobody could touch me because of that tie. lol great work gentlemen.
Wait what, you renamed a tie after yourself because you had never seen someone make a snap tie from either side of the intersection before? There is an actual a reason to do this, and it was being done BEFORE I started in rebar in the early 90's, You snap from bothsides alternating to help stop the mat from racking just like using a saddle but for fill ins, like say when you are filling in ties on a wall mat tied on the ground and then flown by crane into position LOL! Hillarious!
@@whitey22222 Dude hold your damn shorts I was fuckin with you. I used to say that to the guys because I’d always out tie everybody with that reverse tie. lol I also started back in 89. And I agree, Ain't none of that shit new. Everything has been done the same way since rod-busting started. keep pushing bro
