Rebar Tying Tool

Rebar Tying Tool
The MAX RB655 Rebar Tying Tool is capable of tying up to #9 x #8 rebar by wrapping MAX 16-gauge TW1525 wire around the tying area, then cutting and twisting in approximately one second.

The RB655 replaces the MAX RB650A, and offers additional significant improvements over the earlier model. The life of the RB655 twisting motor is five times longer, and the tying times per charge are increased by 30 percent. As well, a PC board now controls the rotation of the RB655 twisting motor, enabling the tool to perform better at lower temperatures.

This new labour-saving tool is capable of reducing costs by up to one fifth of current budgets, paying for itself and turning a profit in very short time.

The simple operation of the RB655 also decreases potential wrist damage and medical costs, and greatly reduces Carpal Tunnel claims when workers use the rebar tools instead of tying by hand. Both statements are supported by published reports from the Canadian Safety Association of Ontario Final Report (WSIB Grant #01023 and the NIOSH (HEATA #2003-0146-2976).
