Nice video... you need to pull on the wire against the bar with your pliers and then twist; don't just twist and twist until tight, the wire will break.
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.

Really nice presentation of the various ties with different styles. The yellow contrast with the rebar showed well as you explained. I used to use simple wire and tie like much of your video showed but as I have gotten older (and always seem to have less time) I have become a fan of the 'loop' ties. Cheers!
Great job Dan. Thanks for the very clear instructions and awesome filming. It would be great if you could extend this video to also show tying of 3 rebars coming together at 90 degrees angle to each other.
Awesome videos on the different ties for rebar. Great explanation, examples, and overall presentation. You definitely need to work on your technique, but since I doubt your career is rodbusting then it's sort of a moot point, just if you want to know, you should use the pliers as a lever to take the slack out of your wire before twisting home and you won't have to twist so much and you'll get a tighter tie, that and you should have your pliers closer to the bar on the wire than the end of the wire.
(Klien tools)Using pliers #7 or 9s is the fastest way to tie and try no to grab wire with ur hands only with one hand to hold wire and use the pliers to thread the tie wire.
im doing a shuffleboard court and im a rookie. first time doing rebar. my court is 52' long. my rebar is 20' long. how many nails per pc of rebar do i need to hammer in the frame?
Many thanks from a rebar novice. Just a thought. Drasticly shorten the music and image section at the beginning. I know it is “branding but it gets in the way of the value of your videos.
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.
damn your methods are slow overseas, in iceland we mostly use the old school spinners and its the fastest especially compared to clippers i simply dont get why you use them. We only use guns for cross tying floors
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
Kind sir, you are holding the pliers backwards. Also I'm sure that you are very happy that you don't have to do this for a living. Let the Union Professionals install for you. Please take this post down.
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.
Throw away those damn plyers or give them back to the electrican. Ok if you want to learn how to tie fast and accurately then you'll need Knipex NIPS. Sorry but don't give up your day job that is not and will never be how to fix steel.
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 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.

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.

Thank you! I'm doing my first rebar project and was wondering what the loops were for on the bagged ties. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!

Great video this is what i was looking for!
hey bro if any idea haw to load and unload rebar pls let me know

It’s called hands my guy

Can you have videos of ironworkers structural tools 🛠
How many ties would an average worker be able to tie using the single tying with a cutter in a day of 10 work hours?
Yikes, that is a really tough question to answer, but....

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
Good video
We use knipex here in New Zealand. They’re way faster than pliers. Honestly try them.
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 😉
Get the Tiger BNT series
Here is my question. You are only tying this to hold it until the concrete is poured right. Then why not just tack it with a mig welder
Welding rebar is not allowed by code(CRSI and ACI). It weakens the bar at the point of welding and can easily break.
great vid thanks
Thanks!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this video!
Not a rodbuster eh
Bend the wire and you don’t hve to do so many twist
Maybe flip it right side up also, the video that is. I’m not sure how you get it mixed but thank you non the less
Helped me out
never use your hands to tie like this dude. and dont forget to pry with the pliers
Great video!
Thanks for sharing.

show off lol jk best video on ties I've seen
Us Australians/NZ boys would out tie you blokes 100% and i know drunks who cam tie better than you bro
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
Nice
Knipex tenazas best
To slow. Use a knipex pliers.. all what you need. And good tactics
That's the worst rod busting I have ever seen. Stop grabbing the wire with your hands.
You showing to cut the wire short of it will cut you.. the shorter you cut it the stronger it is and will slice you like a razor.. longer is better.
Neat
This is not how you tie rebar
