Rebar Tying 

What local

Also it is very critical that both wires twist into the winding. If one wire twist around the other the central wire twists and will break before adequate tension is achieved.

Its called heeling the wire wi t h your pliers

@@martinmartinez8001 heel more than twist! There ya go!👍🏻

Thanks. The loop ties or bag ties are nice but I always seem to try and get them too tight and end up snapping the wire.

What??????

You are so welcome!

Thanks!

fuck 9's lol

@@speedwayman100 I love my Klein Ironworker 9s, I use my 7s though for cages and prefab

@@ibrahimsealy3948 i can beat anyone with my 6s

Thank you! Cheers!

Yikes, that is a really tough question to answer, but.... If a rod buster was tying stacked offset wall mats on the flat that already had the bar laid out and they never had to reload their wire reel, take a break, or stretch. I would say a tie every 3-4 seconds would be expected. That would place them in the range of about 9,000-12,000 ties in a work day. That is not reality though, so I would say a couple of thousand would be really good. Start getting into pilasters, columns, grade beams, and other heavily reinforced and congested components and that number might drop to only a few hundred especially if they are placing bar. This is why we estimate bar installation by the ton and take into account where the bar is being used.

Thanks a lot, that really helps me.

i used to burn through a roll of tie wire in30 minutes

On a bridge deck, I went through 16 rolls of wire in one day. All snap ties.

speedwayman100 naw yi didny

Handball it ya girl

It’s called hands my guy

Always knipex. None of them 9 or 10 inch bolt crop wannabes though, 8" all day long. I have to keep alternating nips to allow them to cool down 😉

Alicate de 10 o 12 pulgadas, tenazas y/o gancho... Algún cortante, flexometro, plomo, nivel de lienza, algo para marcar, grifa y cachimba

Welding rebar is not allowed by code(CRSI and ACI). It weakens the bar at the point of welding and can easily break.

andrew pelayo ever been to toronto?

hardcore homosexual....?

Lol I don't get this regional rivalry, you're either good or you're not, doesn't matter where you're from

Well thanks, glad I could make you feel good about yourself for a bit! By the way, do a video and show us all how it's done. Would love to see it!

Come to London and learn from the masters. Third generation fixer

Says the guy from Iceland where they eat rotten shark - the traditional way of fermenting shark is to bury it in the ground and then urinate on it before letting it rot for some months. Tasty.

dont think i know that? and thats paying homage to old ways of surviving since this island had almost no natural wildlife and to have food available we had to eat pissed on shark mr @@greetswithfire1868 however this lame excuse for a shot is missed as it has no releveance to my comment

@@greetswithfire1868 dude, ad hominem arguments make you look like an idiot

Everyone using nips around me are way slower. Klein 9’s all the way.

stephen wells not to mention he doesn’t even bear down and he over twists the ties. Terrible technique

Yep, I'm not a rod buster, but if any of the professionals out there want to show us how it's done, go for it. I have seen a lot of ties made in mats and it still amazes me how fast it can happen.

youtube always astounds me with all badass "tradesman" that impart their $.02. I will talk slow. This is an educational video,even if people disagree on technique,not intended to show his speed while tying rebar in his living room. Yet none of you put out ANY helpful info

@@ranmc9770 yeah alot of peacocking and no additional information or teaching. I'm in the process of joining an Ironworkers union as a rod buster, my pre-apprentice training starts later today and I'm just being a keener trying to get ahead on some info and techniques, and there aren't alot of helpful people in these threads. If you're so proud and know better, use that opportunity to educate and teach

@@nathanbrisebois8756 So.......did you make it? You should be about half way done with your apprenticeship? 3rd period?

You ever think he was just showing the ties. Dam hes in his living room. Great video man

I'm not a pro and can't tie as fast as you can obviously, but not very many people are blessed with watching real rod busters tie mats all day and struggle to thread bar through pile caps. Yes, when I have tied bar in slabs, footing, and walls i will pull on the wire to draw the bar up tight and even double up on the wire for the hard pulls. I even know the trick about heeling the pliers against the bar.

@@DanSarahMakers Rodbusters? Union Ironworker, Brother. I'm gathering that you are a Inspector? If so just stick to video's with code reference because that is not how you tie Rebar. Slap in the face to people who do. Greetings from California.

What local do you belong to if I may ask kind sir! No, I am not a rod buster by trade, but I know how these things work and I was a superintendent that oversaw structural concrete contractors on a half-billion dollar project including the iron workers that installed the bar. I had to deal with the inspectors when the bar hardly ever was installed with the correct cover, spacing, and so on. I am disappointed that most rod busters will blindly install what is sent to site in the wrong location or without the proper cover because they don't know how or have the ability to field fabricate anything now days. It is always easier to blame someone else and make a bigger problem so that you can come back, tear it apart and do it over again and delay a project. These are Union Professionals I am referring to. Over the past 6 or so years, there was so much construction that almost every trade was allowing just about anyone to buy their cards. I became a journeyman carpenter in 2000, but a lot of scabs bought their cards and knew almost nothing of their trade these last few years and had superiority complexes because they were now "union" trades people. Where are you in that timeline? Oh, and I'm left handed so until Klein makes plyers correctly, I guess they will be backwards!

@@DanSarahMakers Greetings from California Local 416 Ironworkers!! No two Tradesman are made alike! So the problems that you are speaking of are indicative of poor leadership both by the Ironworker and Supervisor alike. I've seen inept Superintendents and Inspectors misread and misinterpret the plans and specs. I have well over 20 years in the trade. If you are a carpenter by trade post a video banging in a nail. You are by no means in a position to teach Rebar because you put up a form or two during a concrete pour .I'm a JIW, not a book buyer.

Also you can't legally fabricate material onsite without tag and sample and 48 hr notice. But you knew that.
