MAX USA's TwinTier RB611T Large Jaw Cordless Rebar Tying Tool
Faster tying speed 4,000 ties per charge • Reduction in wire consumption • Uses a shorter wire tie, requiring less concrete to cover Capable of tying from #5 on #5 to #9 on #10 rebar, the RB611T TwinTier is a battery-powered rebar tying tool capable of tying the largest-sized rebar. The TwinTier platform ties at approximately 1/2 second per tie due to its dual wire feeding mechanism. This tool platform also uses less wire per tie because of the wire pull-back mechanism (yields approx. 200 ties per spool when tying #5 on #5). These efficiencies make the RB611Ts very appealing, especially to contractors who have previously used older rebar tying tools. Each tie is equivalent to a 16 ga. hand snap tie and the fast-tying speed is especially useful for contractors facing a shortage of labor in some areas of the country. • •

The Titen Turbo line of concrete and masonry screw anchors features a patented thread design to deliver smooth driving with less torque and superior holding power. Titen Turbo screw anchors are ideal for attaching all types of fixtures to concrete and masonry and feature an innovative torque-reduction channel to trap drilling dust where it can’t obstruct thread action, significantly reducing binding, stripping and snapping without compromising strength. The reverse thread design also allows more space for dust to help prevent anchors from bottoming out in smaller-diameter screw holes. Available with either a hex head or a 6-lobe countersunk head for a smoother installed profile, Titen Turbo screw anchors feature a serrated leading edge to cut into concrete or masonry, and a pointed tip for fast, easy installation in wood-to-concrete and wood-to-wood anchoring applications.
