Rebar Tying Machine

[nelsonic]

This is a "nice-to-have" single-purpose gadget that,
depending on how much rebar you are tying,
could pay for itself in a single project/job.

When you watch videos of professional people doing form work for concrete walls, #4
you'll often see them using a Rebar Tying "Gun" or hand-held cordless machine.

This is very much the white-label cheap Chinese version:

Vevor is making a healthy margin sourcing these and maintaining an EU-based warehouse ...

With 10 spools of wire the total is €205:

Same item on AliExpress is €107 with postage from EU:

Still waiting for our other Vevor order #19 to arrive ... ⏳
If it arrives I will consider ordering the rebar tier. 💭

Official Vevor Store on AliExpress:

Again, similar to the Rebar Bender #21, I feel that given the quantity of rebar we are tying this tool pays for itself in a single job/project. We have 108 vertical, 93 horizontal for the walls. Then for the slabs we'll have a similar amount.

Just checked back in to AliExpress and not only has the unit price decreased but there's a bigger discount.

This is a time/labor-saving device that will pay for itself in a single project so I'm ordering one.
Will either keep it for future projects or sell it on e.g. for €100 once we're done with the SunRoom.

Order placed. Awaiting dispatch:
