If he refined his technique to not just feel flashy he could actually be a lot quicker, I've seen alot of fixers adopt a "showy" sort of technique when they could halve the steps they make in each tie, not pretty enough for videos I guess? Lol
I've met a thousand fixers who thought they were fast. This guy is not fast, two handed with ten inch knipex he's already off to a bad start. I'm confident that any one of my lads could out tie him on a deck or slab with the one cut method, no need to cut twice. And throw them f*cking boltcrop arsed nips away or give them to a chippy and use 8" Cresent or Knipex that sit in one hand just right
@@leandrokanguroo1 Something you never forget mate. Different times now. Back in the day if you puts a pair of gloves on you'd be laughed off the site. On site today if you don't wear gloves you're thrown off site. I wonder how these guys would have coped on the reactor base at Sizewell B? 13 layers of 50ml diameter high tensile, 18 m long on the bottom mat. RSJ's for chairs, hit and miss with 32ml anti-blast links and no splice possible even staggered because the concrete wouldn't have gotten between the overlap so every bar was coupled. Two guys on either end of the bars with a massive torque wrench, not too bad by until you're doing the top mat from inside the slab because no access possible from above. No wonder we're all riddled with arthritis and tendonosis.
@@MambaAfrica my dad a steelfixer all hes mates are and a couple of my friends are 2 ill have to ask hey mate they work all up the sunshine coast up to Brisbane and gold coast
@@MambaAfrica Lol if that's the fastest you've seen you need to get out more. I started with an Irish subby way back who's vacancy ads read 'fast and efficient men only' no gloves back then and if you turned up with a pair of 10" nips you'd be down the road. I appreciate it's a different game now with H&S which is a good thing because believe me anyone who manages 30 years of reinforcing concrete will know about it physically. I've had the opp on my wrist twice to sort the tendons out and my back is shot to bits. When people see three decades worth of scars on your forearms they assume your self harming. Not many fixers get to enjoy their pension maybe that's why we're all beer monsters
