In todays video I'm going show you how to tie rebar and the different ties I use to install rebar. After the rebar is installed we will show you the hardware and methods we use to set concrete forms.
Yah Ive learned a thing or two over the years lol. When I was young I actually went to Ironworker school to join the apprenticeship. But ended up going back into concrete but also only worked for people in commercial concrete and performed all phases from form work, rebar, and finishing. Super blessed to have worked and learned that way because it definitely gave me a lot of options and not to only be limited to one skill when there are so many to be a true concrete mason.
highly impressed man i been goin nuts on your videos i thought i was the fastestest at rebar but your up there with me which i never see. and i dont even think im that fast
Thanks bro I've learned how to tie rebar doing commercial concrete for half of my career of 22 years. Pliers and a tie wire wheel are the only way in my eyes
When doing snap ties If you cross your arms before you pass the wire behind the bar you get an extra twist in the wire..... meaning holding the pliers in your right hand pass the wire around the right side of the bar and grab the wire with your pliers (being held with your right hand) on the left side of the bar
@@thatjuanshow4485 everyone likes residential but commercial is the way to go if I was just a finisher not an owner I believe, benefits ect ect overtime lol
We in Australia use end cutters nips which is faster than pliers and we don't use snap ties they are dangerous as it snaps while pouring concrete we use caulties and bolts with use form ply and 4×3 timbers witch stronger
I've used tie wire guns my opinion on them is there way to expensive for what they can do . Your limited to only one style tie and they don't tie very tight the jam a lot and if you are going to use them it's best to only use them on slabs so a tight tie don't matter as much. I think wire wheel and Kline pliers and the only way to go. I've had people use them in a commercial work setting and had the inspector call us out on sloppy ties. Just my opinion
At 3 minutes in. I'm going to have to get this down. Doing a yard project is so I'm new to concrete but, my rebar kept sliding down. I was wondering, do they make stakes will drill holes 3ft and taller? Can see to find any. I'm doing a 2ft high retaining wall in my backyard.
Are you building a wall with no footings? If so a lot of 2x4 stakes and 2x4 gussets would hold you straight along with what ever size clips your using at one foot on center top and bottom and each side of upper and lower seems. I recommend pouring a footing the setting wall on top I've seen alot of walls fail in my life with no footings they tend to fall over. And if you're going mono footing wall pour and a concrete supply store they sell mono cleats that nail to your footing forms then clip sits on that and forms will sit in them. So many ways so many possibilities I hope this helps And if not hit me back up and we'll try again. Good luck
@@thatjuanshow4485 thanks, I'll look into doing footings. I'm in Phoenix, barely rains but the reason I'm doing this is because I leveled my backyard. So making a 2ft high retaining wall 8 inches thick 20 ft long.
Hey Juan, I apologize for all the ties that you rodbusters made that I undid trying to get my electrical boxes, stub-up pipes, or sleeves in.😅 Hey bro, the job would be boring with out the rodbusters.
Hey Sean, as a retired Rodbuster with 30yrs in I'd just like to apologize for all the boxes and conduit we smashed and kicked out of our way on PT decks because Sparky put that shit down before they were supposed to.....said no rodbuster ever...
Check out my other vids I'm pretty good at bar and the process. I'm pretty sure I tied it first while my buddy started the panels. But either way thanks for watching
That's because it wasn't 100% yet . We still had a bit more work to do before being pour ready like putting the rest of the shoes on the snap ties , shoot grade , straighten wall ext . Thanks for watching though 👍🏼
