- Does new technology always trump time tested methods? Lets find out when we put some of the best rod busters in the industry against a new tool that might save time and money.
As a local 416 rodbuster.. f##k that tie gun. WE are the tie guns !
Those guns are useless for column work, you need your thumb and forefinger to work the ears of the stirrup to keep the ears flush to the vertical bar, good for flat work, it will never replace an experienced man with a pair of Kleins.
35 years tying rebar and post tension cables. Gives the technology guys something to try lol. Your correct🎉.
Ironworking for 30 yrs , about 20 yrs bustin’ rods , I wouldn’t want one of those tying guns . (1 ) I wouldn’t want one for columns , beams or joists. I would definitely want the dowels tied by hand , tying verts and horzs I would definitely want a rap on the vert.
The salesman was respectful and knew what he was talking about. Never once said he was trying to outsource tradesmen, just trying to save the tradesman where it can help. He literally admitted the tool is not for every application and situation, but I tie steel all day and I would be an idiot if I denied the fact this tool would save a lot of time and effort in certain situations. Sometimes hand tying is necessary and a better fit for the job but flat decks or large repetitive mats, the gun will blow through it like nothing. I prefer hand tying but the gun would save a lot.
He is an old school rodbuster, he will never like that gun. But the company I work for do use these, they are very great for tying slab, saves tons of labour and back pain an wrist pain. Once a wall is framed up it is great to use for the remaining verticals needing to be tyed and placed in. It is a really good investment for the right application, added in with the traditional way it is deffinetelly a benefit for the workers and company owner!
You don’t know anything about this job bro, you must stay quiet, that gun is not going to work on number 18 rebar
Old man thinks the machine will replace skilled tradesmen😪 its obviously not a replacement for skill it's to help with repetitive tasks lol give this man a screwdriver instead of a impact or drill.
The tie gun does have it`s day in the sun here and there but I know from experience that 3-4 rolls won`t even get you to lunch time.
Brother I go through about 15-20 rolls of that tie gun wire bye lunch every day lol
Tying with my pliers is the best way to go
get that old school guy to a retireing home holy shit hes hard headed
Respect.. To the rod buster.. Absolutely no way we going back to tying by hand... We tied grade beam, piers and columns
This guy will never buy into it
Forty-two years tying rebar I wouldn't buy one of those guns either
If I need to do a double wrap to hold a goose neck up on a column it coukdnt do that with that machine
I’m 65 left Iron work 35 years ago I’ve been helping a concrete guy with rebar he he he he showed me that wire shooter I pulled out my 35 year old pliers with a wire reel and said let’s tie a row and see who’s tighter and faster …… I win .
There is progress, and there is regression. The guy in the red T-shirt is moving in the opposite direction of progress.
I’m old school if you use the gun your not an ironworker we are still faster with pliers
Negative.. Had rod buster go up against us.. Have 20 tie headstart.. Still beat him
@@AllAccessConstruction🤡
Yeah but I bet your gun ties have water in them (loose).😅
STEELFIXERS 200MM,KNIPEX,FOR FAST TIES,
I would only use and trust that on slabs and crcps they work great , but definitely no vertical work
Only good for mass 10 m slab on grade that’s it I agree it’s the old guy lol
Get em old-school Rodbuster!!!, I'm a former Rodbuster and the older gentleman is correct not a real world application with the machine in the rod patch . It probably be good on slabs , especially bridge decks once everything is keyed up, but is it worth the investment? I'm sure it works well in prefab plants but like I said it's not the rod patch.
One day there will be high rises all the way from Dallas to Houston. And it won’t get done with that machine lol.
These Rebar Tying guns probably work for small construction but would Never work in Real Power Plant Construction!!! Larger Rebar REQUIRES Greater Tying Ablitie than a machine can Perform!!! 27 Years in 15 States from 1975 thru 2002!!! Tying is just 1 of Many Applications Needed to Place Real Rebar in Concrete Pours over 500 Cubic Yards with Many Scenarios!!! Kinda Funny watching the younger generation talk aboyt Rodbusting!!!
No matter the technology, there will always be an old timer there to complain about it.
“We will never have automatic semi trucks”
“Nail guns will never be a thing”
“Battery tools will never dominate a job site”
“Safety harnesses will never work because they slow us down”
Blah blah blah.
I would go through 20 of those guns before I wear out a pair of pliers. They don't tell you about tine cleaning and maintaining them.
Where was that old man when I had to buy my car, probably would've gotten a better deal
The things is that more and more unexperienced people join the industry and leave all the time they can never ever compete with this gun. Yet a experiences guy might be Quicker but needs more rest etc.
The gun only good for snap ties
Those things break down more than they work and cost more to repair them than they cost give me a twister and ties any day faster and tighter than those pieces of junk
That machine can’t do doubles
Negative.. We've tied double
every tool has it place and time. of course the twin tier isnt going to do everything. ive been using it for 5 yrs doing flatwork/walls and my wrists dont bother me. i still wear my tying belt when im doing rebar. only an idiot will tie his finger. the old guy is making every excuse in the book not to like the machine. its upped our time for doing rebar in walls and matts where there are no tight "clearances" to worry about. the finger excuse is not valid. hes being selfish by trying to prove a point that doesnt hold water. not only that, hes being selfish and not thinking about his guys future physical well being.
hes living in "what if" and "lets say" land. how about just use the gun.
the right tool for the right job. its common sense, boss.
Old men are always just set in their ways with tools. Always so stubborn
thos are U ties and column ties.
Figure eight lol😂
Figure 8 on a Column would be a disaster, bars would be able to roll
Minute and a half lol lol
787
that guy just wants to continue torturing people
No thanks, I'll keep my pliers & reel.
No se Bayan a desgreñar 😂
Wire guns ties ive experienced are weaker than traditional
There is not a thing as #12 bar
I caught that when he was talking. Wouldn’t have one of those tying guns
Bro I’ve even worked with #14s, worked in corpus on the new harbor bridge
@@juanmontemayor4249in L.A we work with 18s and believe me, that machine we trough away.
listen up . 25 plus years rod busting here . The guns kick ass when you know how to use them . we fly mats we hand ties vert setups and fill in with the guns .
Want t
