I Just Spent $2800 on a Rebar Tier- Was It Worth It?

Подробнее о видео

I just spent $2800 bucks on a rebar tier – watch this video and tell me if it was a waste of money or a smart move.
I’ve wanted one of these for years but could never bring myself to spend the money.
This is 100% not a paid ad, but all the research I did led me to this MAX Twintier- it actually ties the rebar with twin wires.
Check it out in slow motion- it sends out two wires, wraps them around the rebar, ties it off, and then bends the ends down so they won’t poke you- all in ½ a second.
It can tie rebar as large as two #7s together.
My wife loves it too- we just spent two full days putting rebar in the basement of the house we’re building, and this saved so much time.
It beeps to let you know when you’re out of wire and once you know what you’re doing it’s easy to switch it out.
I was averaging around 250 ties per spool. This gun uses 19 gauge wire- here you can see the two wires on the spool.
It has a load-assist button the helps to feed the wire into the tier.
One complaint people have about these guns is they say they don’t tie as tight or as strong as you can do by hand, so I decided to test it out and made a little ladder out of rebar.
It held my 190 lbs. -- not that I’m recommending you do this.
We just passed inspection on this, but not sure when we will pour because now they’re calling for snow. @hausplans
