A rebar tying tool can save your crew significant time compared to tying steel by hand. But if you’re thinking about adding one to your toolkit, it’s natural to have a few questions first.
How fast can a rebar tying machine tie steel bars?
One of the biggest advantages of using a rebar tying machine is the speed. Most automatic models can complete a tie in around 0.5 to 0.8 seconds.
How strong are the ties?
With a quality rebar tying tool, you can produce consistent, secure ties that hold reinforcing bars firmly in place.
The WRAPTOR WRAP-44 Cordless Rebar Tying Machine uses 1.3mm high-tensile wire to create tight, reliable ties that are stronger than those typically produced through manual wire tying.
Can I use generic wire with a rebar tying machine?
It’s best to use wire that’s designed specifically for your rebar tying machine. Using generic wire can increase the risk of wire jams or damage the tool’s wire-feeding mechanism.
Here at RAPIDTOOL, you can easily get the correct wire types for every rebar tier we offer. You can even order our wire coils in bulk so you have enough for larger projects. Package deals are available if you’d like to purchase a machine together with bulk wire coils.
How long does the battery last?
Battery life depends on the model you’re using, but you can be confident that every RAPIDTOOL rebar tying tool is built for extended use on site.
With a rebar tier like the RAPIDTOOL RT-40A, you can produce more than 5,000 ties with two wraps or over 4,500 ties with three wraps on a single battery charge. This ensures that you and your crews can complete reinforcement work much faster.
Powered by the REO-BOSS battery platform, the WRAPTOR rebar tying tool can complete up to 4,000 ties on a single battery charge. This allows you to work longer before needing to swap batteries.
Do I need special training to use a rebar tying machine?
Not at all. Most workers can learn the basics very quickly.
It only takes minutes to learn how to load the wire and create a tie. However, you should still read the instruction manual before using the tool. This ensures that you understand the correct operating and safety procedures for your rebar tier.
