Yes sir my daddy was a ironworker for 35 years he passed away in 2010 but growing up he'd give me $20 to give him rub down I charged him a dollar a minute 😂 he'd say damn girl you're tough... That's highway robbery😂😂 But he always paid up. Because I put in that work, I was wore out by the time I was done. He liked to be killed. He said come on girl you ain't going to hurt me😂😂 Damn I miss that man. They don't make them like that anymore 💯

@whitey22222

Rebar tie guns make what kind of tie? A snap tie only as far as the ones I have seen, they are great when that is all you need but in many circumstances you need a different tie like a figure 8 or a saddle or either one of those with a wrap, or any of the above in double wire, hence unless the work your are doing is all snap ties they are useless, not to mention when many of the tie machines were brought out to demo on the job I was able to out run them! I will concede that is not the norm, but I am a 4th generation master iron worker with over 16 years in the rod patch and many more as supervision, building poured in place high rise buildings, tilt panel buildings and bridges among other things (-;

Wait what, you renamed a tie after yourself because you had never seen someone make a snap tie from either side of the intersection before? There is an actual a reason to do this, and it was being done BEFORE I started in rebar in the early 90's, You snap from bothsides alternating to help stop the mat from racking just like using a saddle but for fill ins, like say when you are filling in ties on a wall mat tied on the ground and then flown by crane into position LOL!
