    I knew even the best of the old heads can’t keep up with a gun that ties and cuts in 2 seconds a tie every tie. And you also disproved a big statement I see around that you have to have the rebar lifted before use, when just a quick grab up like you did here is enough. Klein’s still have their place tho. But once you get in to the 100’s and 1000’s of yards then a tie gun only makes financial sense

    Nice review... Looks to me that you've tied a few rebar in your life, so you'd be a pretty good judge if it was worth the investement... I saw another guy using a Makita rebar tying gun and their rebar cutter. He works pretty much alone, so I guess anything that he can do to speed things up and make it easier!

    It has its advantages for certain jobs, flat work either horizontal or vertical, I'd like to see its utility in a column yard fabricating columns with interlocking ties, hairpins, rack braces etc, or on the job site assembling core walls with link beams with diagonal bars at openings on the form side curtain in a 12 inch thick wall, not gonna work.....don't throw your pliers away, you'll need em.

    Here my opinion. I've had plenty of experience with that tie gun they are very handy when they work but when the wire gets caught or the roll comes undone in the its holder it is a pain is the butt. I've never used plyers n wire I have only used a twisty n twister. Tbh I like the twisty n twister better. And that's my opinion.

    The comments about rodbusters is mute. Anyone want to pay for one to come out? Heck no! Like we have hundreds or thousands depending on the job to throw at someone to just tie rebar for us. Even if I have a kid fresh out of high school and is 1/5 that speed I'm ahead on paying his labor vs a rod buster.
    The video is not about who is the fastest or what is the fastest, it's about efficiency for an average concrete worker that does a lot more then just tie rebar all day. The gun looks nice but I'm sticking with my wire reel.

      Haha you sure know how to get the expensive ones. I'll take a 17 year old McDonald's employee with a good attitude and have them beating your guys in a week. Easy labour jobs like tying rebar, tile, trim, drywall, etc. Can be trained in a day or less.
      I trained a couple of painters on balcony railing installation on apartment buildings a couple days ago. They weren't even our employees but having more people to do the work is an advantage.
      The only reason to get rid of someone is their attitude bc you can't learn with a bad attitude. Non-learners are long term laborers and will not gain skills.
      This guy is a learner, so his current technique is irrelevant. An employer should be good enough at all of the jobs they offer or they will have to use expensive guys.
