Max looks to save workers’ backs with new stand-up battery-powered rebar tier

Max USA Corp. is aiming to cut down on back strain for workers tying rebar on concrete slabs with a new stand-up battery-powered tying tool.

The has introduced the TwinTier RB401T-E, the first tool of its kind that gives ironworkers the ability to tie rebar while standing upright. The tool’s ergonomic construction, along with its contact mechanism, which requires no pulling of a trigger, lets workers automatically form a tie when pushing the tool down on a rebar intersection.

Users can adjust the RB401T-E’s handle to two positions depending on their height.
