If you’ve never seen a rebar tier in action, it’s impressive. Depending on the type of tie required, you’ll see time savings anywhere from 50% – 80%. More realistically, you can assign one crew member to handle tying duties that you’d normally put 3 – 5 on to wrap up the job. Those time savings add up to money savings in a hurry. The BN Products-USA BNT-40 Automatic Rebar Tier enters this tool class with features designed to save you time and money.
This BNT-40 Automatic Rebar Tier delivers a 3-wrap tie of 21-gauge galvanized wire from a coil-spool that has a capacity of 128 ties. Its brushless twisting motor can handle up to 2,500 ties on a single battery charge. At 5 pounds ready to work, the weight is manageable but understandably more than a set of cutters and linesman pliers.
Two 14.4-volt batteries come packed in the kit along with an extra set of gears and four spools of wire. Online prices are currently running $1550 – $1750 depending on which retailer you go to, which is less than you’d pay for the current Max-USA model. Have you use an automatic rebar tier on the jobsite? We’d love to hear what you think of this model! Sound off on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
