[@hanaleimesa82]

You the Man, Green Horn here stepping into Rodbusting, Hawaii this will safe me a lot of time and embarrassment, Thanks and Aloha, Keep Going Hard🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@hendognsf]

Yup I’ve never cared for the leather belts I’ve said it myself that they stretch when you sweat and they eventually crack. Good video bro

[@GlorytoGod580]

Very well spoken and explained.

[@MyCnote123]

Good shit bro! Local 416 apprentice here! Great video!

[@hardlabormedia1449]

Right on big hog

[@WOODY-REBEL]

Just joined IW736 as a Rodman. Thanks for your channel!

[@65bucksmedia]

I watched your rebar tying video and was hoping you could do one for the different ties (8, butterfly, etc). Please? I really appreciate the way you show it and how you slow it down. Which made it easier to understand compared to other KZbinrs.

[@liamjohnny335]

Excellent well explained

[@davidgee9743]

You forgot the gloves! most important invest in some good gloves I recommend pigskin or goatskin gloves. Local 416 Ironworkers!!

[@hardlabormedia1449]

It is important but gloves are usually company provided, per union laws, consequently they also tend to get the cheapest gloves too 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@BammBamm2273]

Local 118 and I approve of this Comment!. 💪🏾👷🏾‍♂️ Pig Skin Baby!.

The best wire reel is the mar Mac quick draw wire reel it’s more expensive but 10x better than the Klein and easier to load with wire

[@DofSWORDZ]

It’s not at all hard to load the Klein

I’ve watched so many videos for bag setups and this is BY FAR the best I’ve seen! Thanks for helping a girl out! #unionstrong

[@mlgr73]

Great video! You didn’t mention the wall hook.

[@artesuave4760]

Is that the elk river belt?

[@diegorosales7425]

Hello, I work the same and I am thinking of buying a girdle like the one you have, elk river but there is not much information about it online, I do not know if you have more information about the size of the pad, I know it measures 5 inches wide but my question is how long it measures if it changes according to the size you choose or if it is a single size regardless of the size you choose, I don't know if I understand, I hope so, thank you

[@LEONDELASIERRA1]

Where can I find those rebar pliers?

[@dustbinbroom]

Rodbusting is fucking terrible, if you're good at it nobody notices if you're bad at it only the guys you work with notice... unsung heros

[@StevenAlvarado-v1o]

Any thoughts on self tieing rebar machines ?

[@matthewmulder9992]

only good for stuff you don't have to climb on, wouldn't trust those ties with much weight. at the end of the day everyone has to learn how to tie.

[@mikeysanchez9894]

I work at a company in south florida we do rebar for the freeways for fdot since i started 4 months ago 5 people have quit because they dont want to pay laborers above 18 dollars a hour and its hard work they always on your back to get work out ..and i have concrete experience i just got put on a rebar crew because they needed people now i see why they dont stick around.. Whats the average someone should make in the job?

[@pocoyobatista9949]

Florida is the worst state for concrete workers my advice for you is get out

[@luisreynoso9445]

Ask for 22… if not, it’s not worth the time. that’s the minimum for non union in Arizona. Been in rebar bout a year now

[@ohanaross-roberts97]

I just started on 30hr for this job, and 25 normally.

[@berrex5152]

Union is the only way to go

[@TheDave831]

18 an hour? holy shit lol, i'd look for a different job, something easier work wise. Join the union

[@martinmartinez8001]

What kind of work you do beautiful

[@tomlund4951]

Needs a pair of pliers, gloves and a strong back

9 ounces* not inches. Those are also the 7 ounces, lol.

Look at the link and it is not the same belt that you have, it looks more like an elk river

[@hardlabormedia1449]

What I wear around my hips is definitely Protecta, true what I have In my video isn’t the same but I got mines in store. The link I have will hug yours just the same

@@hardlabormedia1449 I am thinking of buying one but there is very little information about this product I do not know how long the ones from ring to ring are, I do not know if they change depending on the sizes or not in the past I bought one of the falltech brand and only half 24 inches the pad and I did not like it because the rings were very close to my hips and I prefer them more forward and I am a size 34

@@zoebanegas8096 honestly each person has their own preferences on brands, are you looking for potentially a leather one? The elk river works good and fine for my self and I’m like a 36

You don’t need the knife or the spud wrench. Klien 9s with gator grip teeth. Get a tiny little keychain crescent.

Where is your foldable ruler, where is your calculator, where is your torpedo level?? where is your 9 pliers, not those 7’s you called 9’s?? You ain’t no rodbuster wey.

[@roddiener]

If you work for a company that will fire your ass if you take too long with your bolt bag it's time to find another company, f them....also that belt with the D rings is a waste of money, if you're in California you can't use those to hook of on anything legally, a harness is required. Just retired, have fun boys!

[@hardlabormedia1449]

Congrats on your retirement boss. True a harness is usually necessary but they can be useful for going like 2 ft up and doing a little bullshit

[@shahzaibshah-xx9ji]

Mar mac reel r better

[@martinmartinez8001]

Lose some weight kid gonna help your back in future and you will tie faster

[@mohammedyoussefnour5855]

Does working as a rebar needs big physical strength ?

[@mlgr73]

Yes and no. You lift lots of heavy stuff, over rough surfaces, work in awkward positions, fast paced. A decent amount of strength is required, but what you don’t have initially, you’ll develop if you stick with it, try your best, eat like a t-rex at the start and rest well.

[@mlgr73]

Endurance and grit are just as important as strength. Ok, you’re strong, but if you have no endurance, it isn’t worth much.

And for all of you real ironworks real ironworkers hang iron and weld if you’re a deck hand your just a glorified roofer if you are a running rebar your just a trash ironworker that couldn’t cut it 😂

[@grouchdouglas5507]

Drop your ego. A lot of locals start you on rebar before they let you do structural. I had to do rebar most of my apprenticeship before I would get put on the good structural jobs
