MAX USA Corp. has launched what it calls the world’s first stand-up, battery-powered rebar tying tool, the TwinTier RB401T-E. The RB401T-E is designed to reduce back strain when tying rebar for concrete slabs. The RB401T-E’s extended frame is designed to allow iron-workers to tie rebar while standing upright. The tool’s automatic contact mechanism/switch forms a tie when pushed down over a rebar intersection. There is no trigger to pull. Users can adjust the handles to two positions, and the long nose attachment is designed to help the tool glide into rebar intersections with minimal effort from the operator. The RB401T-E uses the same battery and TW1061T tie wire as the RB441T and RB611T handheld TwinTiers. TW1061T tie wire is available in black steel, poly-coated, electro-galvanized, stainless steel, and buy American options. maxusacorp.com
