Nah it's the brickies that truly have it rough, those blokes are on another level Besa block brickies usually btw, nothing too tough about your urban house brickies, watch the blokes throw massive cinder blocks around one handed all day and you'll learn a slice about life
@@dylanwood4164 Hmm how much does block weigh (55 pounds max for besser)? How much does a number 10 or 11 piece of rebar weigh (10 pounds per foot normally in 8 to 24 foot bars) so 80 to 240 pounds. Yes in residential the rod busters have it easier, BUT when placing rebar in the foundation of say a poured in place High Rise building or a Bridge, yeah it's not even close brother ;-)

I am a Hong Kong Ironworker It's very interesting to see a different way to tie to wire Coz, normally the wire are seperated from the wire round, and which is cut as 16 inches for each wire The other thing is, we dont use the pliers, we use a hook/goose to tie the iron Wanna try this way Once i get to Canada 🤞🏻

I cut and bend rebar, I always wondered what happened after the fact. I thought my job was hard until I saw this video. But we do sell re bar tying guns at our facility that can tie up a piece of rebar in half the time. I showed it off to some rod busters that came through and they've never looked back. Well worth the investment and less carpal tunnel.
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 (-;
@@whitey22222 yes only snap ties, but I'd recommend the Max twin tier it doubles up but yes it only does snap ties, but a lot of youngins coming into the field don't have the experience you do, and they certainly will be slower without the guns.

@@whitey22222 that’s what I thought too but if you watch the guy in the high vis shirt he only does a single loop tie. So the tie gun would work fine here. We always have to saddle tie though
Yeah, i prefer using knippers too. I like te leverage they give and the shape of the head which lets me easily tighten the knot if i need a sturdier connection.

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! Hillarious!

Double snap for what? So unnecessary if it holds the bar in place thats all the tie is there for it serves. The tie wire serves no purpose. Once concrete is poured
@@uranga1981 i wouldnt, you are totally right and im totally wrong. Im sorry i stepped into your world my gosh it must be so hard to be a rodbuster i cant even imagine having to punk bar all day and learn all these complex ties and oh my god the heights! I couldnt imagine
Because thats for beginners and you have to learn to tie... we uave to tie saddle ties, figure 8 ties its a lot more than this plus the guns wont get in tight areas... but most importantly a real journeyman can toe faster and tighter than that gun
They would be faster if they took their index finger out from in between their pliers most of your strength in your hand is in that first finger and control
It's a hurry due to the bids. We get bad rates so we have to hurry the fuck up to meet are goals. Quality is still there we just need better rates. Some jobs want a single man to place tons of steel in a single day. Its stressful sometimes at the expense of our bodies.
