Built my garage, used plastic quick ties. No issues at any connection... Inspector loved it...

I’ve seen people do that as well

Cheaper to buy a roll of wire and use pliers?

[@hausplans]

I’m not sure I know that’s how some of the commercial guys do it. The ties I buy are really cheap though

[@georgebeauchamp1690]

@@hausplans meaning they are POS! Get some wire and do it like a rod buster!

[@githucalias921]

Man why pliers u can use the same tool

[@hannahmay5461]

Slower

[@mikenormandy9250]

I love watching the rod busters tie all damn day long! But def NOT with this method! Pliers and your rod reel!! I see guys use linesman style pliers (with spring loaded handles and one handle is curved for grip) and front end style nippers! Pretty sure showing up to the job with this setup is the equivalent of me showing up to a job site with one of those automatic wire strippers!

[@willywombat2087]

Johnny homeowners lol them quick ties very costly always break or not tight enough

[@rickschermerhorn2315]

That's because you don't know how to do it real foundation guys get them all tight and break none in fact Donnie or Tina were so good at it that they break none over the whole house

[@rickschermerhorn2315]

You're wrong

[@alexm6570]

Those “quick” ties are a lot slower than using a spool of regular tie wire

[@CaLilife562]

Great info! I will definitely be using this method on my next T&I project

[@MacGatesStudio]

I appreciate you assuming that I already knew how to tie rebar. However I do not, but thank you for teaching me.

[@sorsaasefa7660]

I was lucky enough that my first job used an electric rebar tie. Point and tie. We ran out of the rolls that go into the rebar tie and tying them by hand wasted an extra 2 hours for us. Now I can brag in the future like an old head and tell them I tied rebar with my bare hands back in the day😂

[@hausplans]

😂👍

[@goreyboggs]

He is not a rodbuster I’m guessing. Rodman throw the bag ties off the side of the bridge and put on a tool belt with Pliers, Scaber & Reel. 😎

[@rickschermerhorn2315]

Guess what all of you know it alls this guy is doing it absolutely perfect and how do i know?????? Ive done at least 775 foundations around here so ive probably done that 75,000 x have sny of you self proclaimed experts ever built more than 2-3 foundations in your whole life this guy is perfect thats the way you do it compare your no foundations built life with .my 775 you have no right to even comment on ehat hes done

[@mikeyhemingway9120]

They got things called "yoyos" and you pull it once and it tightens it perfectly every time

Don't pick up 14 ton 8ft Dia 80ft cassions built with those,,,,it might not make it to the hole,,,😂😂😂 an if your told to do it or else chose the or else

[@oneilljames1]

Idk ive done both ways. You should load a bunch of ties all the way onto the tool thru one loop, and hold them in your palm. Then you pull one out of palm, thread, hook the loop and twist. Ready to do the next one

[@rickschermerhorn2315]

Screw that

[@davidebevilacqua2575]

My dad use to use a pair of thrusty knipex pliers and a coil of wire, he was super fast, no need for there tool

[@samnass]

KNIPEX makes concreters nippers. I find them faster and more comfortable than pliers...

[@dougedwards8022]

I likem a new pair of klien 9 st213 no spring skin the handles then watch out for weld flash😂 nothing but a blur don't try to watch me because it'll blow your mind

[@ekermit3326]

I'm and electrician and I did it just helping a buddy out and I did it quicker than that just cutting a piece of tie wire off and Crossing it and then twisting it

[@zachcrowl8504]

I’m a mechanic so don’t get mad at me for asking but how would safety wire pliers work for this?

[@ig_omar4288]

Get some linemens and stop trolling us haha I use tie wire every day like the next guy on here

I aint used a twister in years, kinda miss it but hated the travel

[@hausplans]

😂😂

[@scottedwards3403]

He’s not necessarily doing it wrong, this is ok for most residential pours, commercial or ‘special’ use concrete require saddle tie (in my state). I was a rod buster for a long time and thing he’s doing fine

[@ksconstructionskill226]

Good technique❤

[@hausplans]

Thanks 😊

I'm all my years in construction I've never seen a rod buster tie bars with this shit.

So what have you

[@MrCoventry1986]

I use 250mm knipex, always done the job for me.

[@xdjuicyclap6721]

Wire and pliers, im a bit slow at it cause we only did it at school, but you get the hang of it or you got the guns, thats fun. But yes, paur of pliers and roll of wire.

[@hausplans]

I would like to by a rebar tie gun

[@Suspect002]

could you hypothetically put an eye hook in a drill and use that?

[@hausplans]

I think it would be easy to over twist to break the wire with a drill. It takes a little while to get the feel. Not enough twist and it’s lose, too much in the wire breaks

[@michawolski2584]

@@hausplans what about the torque setting that every drill has built in?

[@alexnelson6196]

I never cared for pigtails. Always used a saddle tie for strength and a Max tie gun for speed. Well worth the money if you’re tying lots of bar.

[@MichaelZorn2]

A snap tie works just fine. Not all ties need to be done for strength. A saddle tie is good for walls. A saddle with a snap for template bars.

[@jeremytrapo2715]

We use that for fences

[@TTCS]

Fast way to get laughed off a commercial job. Neat tools though

[@elischultes6587]

Put that Whirlie Bird down and slowly walk away. Just using snap ties like that aren’t as strong and stable as a saddle or a crossed saddle tie. Get a reel for a spool of wire. Get your bars in place tied with crossed saddle ties then go back through and do the snap tie to get your tie percentage for your bar inspection. Tying 2 bars over #5 these ties aren’t long enough. Besides you run out of these quickly. If you need to hold something plumb tie it into place.

[@Toxikyle1]

Lol on every single video of people trying to show a tip on trade work, there just so many people in the comments about how they’d get fired and that this way is shit compared to their way.

[@hausplans]

You aren’t wrong 😂

[@slash.9882]

rebar tie gun is the way to go

[@josegutierrez7457]

That's not how you tie rebar

[@raymonddoran3023]

Thats one way a double saddle works better stronger but its good

[@alemalvina7624]

Is better to pass the wire again forming the inginite symbol grabs rebar better

[@apyorick]

When you take forever prepping ties and your ties fail to make it seem like you are fast.

[@devin3969]

I’ve never seen it done this way before

[@stephenking9789]

wow, ive never knew this and been twisting the rebar around eachother

[@christhut8140]

I love everyone talking shit about bag ties and twisters. Many small residential companies still use them. You only really see pliers and reels or tie guns on bigger sites or commercial/industrial

[@hausplans]

We only tie rebar a couple times a year, I could see if that’s what you did every day using pliers

[@richard416913]

Use actual tie wire and some Kliens….be a man!

[@Mattnoble80]

That’s my technique also, did you have Mr. Jones as your teacher too?

Those are nice tie wires and I can tie alot of steel with those babies 😊

I learned 2 things, how to do this and what that tool is for

[@michaeljimenez8399]

$10/hr ties, with pliers and reel $25+\hr

[@neilspires7259]

It's much higher now.

[@johnrobinson8027]

Only a novice ties like that. A saddle tie is how to really tie rebar.

[@thatdude6045]

Figure 8 is my prefered method. Its same as a saddle but one side crosses

[@jancloddlafront9185]

KZbinr are 14 on average... they teach as they learn!

[@Mark_Mark_Mark_Mark_Mark]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 saddle tie or figure 8 a matt you'll work till smoko then get told to go home. This tie is fine. I use nip and reel but when using a twitch I like to hook one loop and fold other end over the tool. Tighter and quicker tie
