This new generation MAX Rebar-Tier, the RB443T TwinTier, features three new design innovations to provide the greatest efficiency and highest level of safety reinforcing ironworkers have ever experienced.
The TwinTier’s “dual wire feeding mechanism” increases tying speed by reducing the time needed to twist and feed the wire, consequently reducing the cost, and shortening the time required for construction. The tool’s dual-wire wrap ensures each tie is reinforced for maximum hold.
The wire pull back mechanism firmly pulls the tie wire in to adjust the tie to the rebar’s size, maximising the strength of the tie. When forming a tie, the tool makes a loop with the wire and then pulls the wire to tightly secure and lock the rebar in place.
Precise amount of wire
This mechanism feeds a precise amount of wire to match the thickness of the rebar being tied, cutting down on the use of unnecessary wire. The bending mechanism consistently feeds, pulls back, twists and releases the perfect sized tie for each application.
This generation tier produces ties that are approximately 50% shorter in height, allowing for thinner concrete pours.
Also, the ends of each tie are positioned downward to increase safety, and wire spools now produce up to 240 ties (when tying D12 x D12 rebar).
The TwinTier’s added features also include a jaw that is constructed to tie D10 x D10 up to D22 x D22 rebar. This wide jaw accommodates larger gauge rebar, while its slim arm offers the freedom to work in tight spaces.
The TwinTier’s quick load magazine makes changing wire spools a piece of cake, and its frontward position provides improved balance/ergonomics, making flatwork easier.
A low “battery power consumption” design allows the tool to produce 5000 ties per charge using a 5.0Ah, 14.4volt Lithium-ion battery, which recharges in just 60 minutes.
The tool’s 6-step torque adjustment dial allows its user to adjust the strength of the tie based on the application. Steel, electrogalvanised and stainless steel wire are all available for use with the TwinTier.
Double the speed
It works at double the speed and produces double the number of ties from a single roll of wire than the RB398 model, and far exceeds that of any of its competitors.
Overall, no matter the application, the MAX TwinTier reduces the time it takes to complete a job, saves businesses money by cutting man hours needed for each project, and increases the productivity of its workers.
