8-34mm Rebar Tying Machine Rebar Tying Tool, Automatic Rebar Tie Wire Twister Rebar Tie Tool w/Pliers + 2 x Batteries, Rebar Tier Tying Machine for Steel Bar Rod Tying Binding, Blue

A ferramenta veio com defeito. As primeiras amarras foi executada, porém frouxa. Depois começou a travar constantemente. Em vez de agilizar as amarras, estava atrasando. Passamos a amarrar pelo processo convencional.

This tie tool worked as expected. I tied about 250 joints the first day. It never 'jammed'. About 1 in 25 times it breaks the wire at the end of the twist function and you have to pull the twisted wire from the tool. Did it with my fingers every time but could use pliers. About 1 in 100 ties the wire did not wrap around but only consequence was 18" of wasted wire. And I think this was because I did not lift the mat up enough. You need to allow about 2 - 3" clearance under the mat (lift the mat) for the machine to work correctly. I was tying two 7/16" rebar and one roll of wire did about 200 joints. A single battery was still going after 250 ties. I am a real tool junkie and have about every tool known to mankind. While I recognized this is a cheap, chinese tool, it worked fine. I will likely only tie 1,000 - 2,000 joints over the life of the tool so it is a perfect value for me.

Hey it works. May not be perfect but it speeds up the process. Not every tie is tight and it will miss a few, but if you're a DIY person, it'll work for small projects. It will frustrate you if you're in a hurry. I couldn't get it to feed a new roll. So I took the front cover off and there was a piece of wire broken off. Removed it and back in business. It's not a high quality item, so I wouldn't use it professionally.

It works fine for about 2 hours and then started jamming and Non-Stop I ended up having to return it and buy another one which works only half the time. Because of the amount of jams and wasted wire with these tools I found that it was just simpler and less aggravating to do the twist by hand the old fashioned way.

So far I have used this gun on wire/rebar in over 110 yards of concrete. Three different projects. It has always worked good, occasionally a mis-tie will occur but it is a back saver. I did have trouble feeding a roll of wire in, but it turned out to be the wire cutter I was using, it spread the end of wire too wide to feed, just had to dress up the end of the wire and change cutters. I recommend this for the non professional like me, if concrete is your living, a higher priced gun may be better????
