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 TH-camrs.
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?
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
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 Yes, of course, but the one you have in the link is not made with good material, I have already looked at it, I ask you what brand is the one you have in the video
@@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
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.
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 3 main tool u need. Tape, something to mark with and a knipex. And tht if u working for a company. Not by youself. By yourself them same 3 thing a cutting saw something to bend the steel with. And learning to read the drawing tht all nothing more r less
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.
No hide and drink leather bags do not do that neither do occidental leather bags yeah your spending 100 + per bag but they last years idk what that cheap piece of trash was you had but it looked cheap as fuck😂
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 😂
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
this is great stuff thank you, iv just confirmed my seat for school, this is exactly what i need, great tips about the canvas bag and cons of leather
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🙏🏼🤙🏼
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
Just joined IW736 as a Rodman. Thanks for your channel!
Good shit bro!
Local 416 apprentice here! Great video!
Right on big hog
Very well spoken and explained.
Great video!!

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
Excellent well explained
Is that the elk river belt?
Great video! You didn’t mention the wall hook.
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
It’s not at all hard to load the Klein
@@DofSWORDZ didn’t say it was
Any thoughts on self tieing rebar machines ?
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.

Florida is the worst state for concrete workers my advice for you is get out
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
I just started on 30hr for this job, and 25 normally.
Union is the only way to go
18 an hour? holy shit lol, i'd look for a different job, something easier work wise. Join the union

Where can I find those rebar pliers?
I would like to know where I can find the back pad with the D-rings
What kind of work you do beautiful
You forgot the gloves! most important invest in some good gloves I recommend pigskin or goatskin gloves. Local 416 Ironworkers!!
It is important but gloves are usually company provided, per union laws, consequently they also tend to get the cheapest gloves too 🤷🏽♂️
Local 118 and I approve of this Comment!. 💪🏾👷🏾♂️ Pig Skin Baby!.
And your level
Where's the work at brother?
And tie and tie and tie and hurry up!
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
You out of local 86?
Sure am!
@dru_ Get in shape and be a master of your mind.
inside reading rule
9 ounces* not inches. Those are also the 7 ounces, lol.
Yeah forreal 7’s with the red handle, 9’s have the blue. This guy is confused.
Needs a pair of pliers, gloves and a strong back
Look at the link and it is not the same belt that you have, it looks more like an elk river

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

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
YOU LIE. u don't need all of them tool to do steelbending work at all.STOP TELL LIES
Tell me you haven’t done rebar without saying you haven’t done rebar
@@hardlabormedia1449 I do steelbending for 17 years now going 18 next year and I don't use any of those tool .

Well he's talking about rodbusting, not steel bending.
ill have what this guys having
Lose some weight kid gonna help your back in future and you will tie faster
Does working as a rebar needs big physical strength ?
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.
Endurance and grit are just as important as strength. Ok, you’re strong, but if you have no endurance, it isn’t worth much.
who is this kid? crazy that he is teaching others?!! wouldn't last a week in Los Angeles Local 416. Funny as hell
