As a local 416 rodbuster.. f##k that tie gun. WE are the tie guns !

He is an old school rodbuster, he will never like that gun. But the company I work for do use these, they are very great for tying slab, saves tons of labour and back pain an wrist pain. Once a wall is framed up it is great to use for the remaining verticals needing to be tyed and placed in. It is a really good investment for the right application, added in with the traditional way it is deffinetelly a benefit for the workers and company owner!

The salesman was respectful and knew what he was talking about. Never once said he was trying to outsource tradesmen, just trying to save the tradesman where it can help. He literally admitted the tool is not for every application and situation, but I tie steel all day and I would be an idiot if I denied the fact this tool would save a lot of time and effort in certain situations. Sometimes hand tying is necessary and a better fit for the job but flat decks or large repetitive mats, the gun will blow through it like nothing. I prefer hand tying but the gun would save a lot.

get that old school guy to a retireing home holy shit hes hard headed

Those guns are useless for column work, you need your thumb and forefinger to work the ears of the stirrup to keep the ears flush to the vertical bar, good for flat work, it will never replace an experienced man with a pair of Kleins.

Old man thinks the machine will replace skilled tradesmen😪 its obviously not a replacement for skill it's to help with repetitive tasks lol give this man a screwdriver instead of a impact or drill.

Tying with my pliers is the best way to go

The tie gun does have it`s day in the sun here and there but I know from experience that 3-4 rolls won`t even get you to lunch time.

If I need to do a double wrap to hold a goose neck up on a column it coukdnt do that with that machine

Forty-two years tying rebar I wouldn't buy one of those guns either

I’m old school if you use the gun your not an ironworker we are still faster with pliers

I would go through 20 of those guns before I wear out a pair of pliers. They don't tell you about tine cleaning and maintaining them.

Only good for mass 10 m slab on grade that’s it I agree it’s the old guy lol

Respect.. To the rod buster.. Absolutely no way we going back to tying by hand... We tied grade beam, piers and columns This guy will never buy into it

I would only use and trust that on slabs and crcps they work great , but definitely no vertical work

The things is that more and more unexperienced people join the industry and leave all the time they can never ever compete with this gun. Yet a experiences guy might be Quicker but needs more rest etc.

One day there will be high rises all the way from Dallas to Houston. And it won’t get done with that machine lol.

There is progress, and there is regression. The guy in the red T-shirt is moving in the opposite direction of progress.

Where was that old man when I had to buy my car, probably would've gotten a better deal

Get em old-school Rodbuster!!!, I'm a former Rodbuster and the older gentleman is correct not a real world application with the machine in the rod patch . It probably be good on slabs , especially bridge decks once everything is keyed up, but is it worth the investment? I'm sure it works well in prefab plants but like I said it's not the rod patch.

These Rebar Tying guns probably work for small construction but would Never work in Real Power Plant Construction!!! Larger Rebar REQUIRES Greater Tying Ablitie than a machine can Perform!!! 27 Years in 15 States from 1975 thru 2002!!! Tying is just 1 of Many Applications Needed to Place Real Rebar in Concrete Pours over 500 Cubic Yards with Many Scenarios!!! Kinda Funny watching the younger generation talk aboyt Rodbusting!!!

STEELFIXERS 200MM,KNIPEX,FOR FAST TIES,

The gun only good for snap ties

Figure eight lol😂

That machine can’t do doubles

every tool has it place and time. of course the twin tier isnt going to do everything. ive been using it for 5 yrs doing flatwork/walls and my wrists dont bother me. i still wear my tying belt when im doing rebar. only an idiot will tie his finger. the old guy is making every excuse in the book not to like the machine. its upped our time for doing rebar in walls and matts where there are no tight "clearances" to worry about. the finger excuse is not valid. hes being selfish by trying to prove a point that doesnt hold water. not only that, hes being selfish and not thinking about his guys future physical well being. hes living in "what if" and "lets say" land. how about just use the gun. the right tool for the right job. its common sense, boss.

No thanks, I'll keep my pliers & reel.

Old men are always just set in their ways with tools. Always so stubborn

listen up . 25 plus years rod busting here . The guns kick ass when you know how to use them . we fly mats we hand ties vert setups and fill in with the guns .

Minute and a half lol lol

thos are U ties and column ties.

No se Bayan a desgreñar 😂

No matter the technology, there will always be an old timer there to complain about it. “We will never have automatic semi trucks” “Nail guns will never be a thing” “Battery tools will never dominate a job site” “Safety harnesses will never work because they slow us down” Blah blah blah.

Wire guns ties ive experienced are weaker than traditional

that guy just wants to continue torturing people

There is not a thing as #12 bar
