A worker can tie rebar either manually or with the help of a rebar tying tool. If a worker intends to undertake this task manually, then they will require pliers to help them. It is however highly recommended to tie rebar with the help of a tying tool, as it is far more effective and efficient. Once the method of tying has been chosen, a worker must configure the rebar in preparation for tying. If a worker decides to use a rebar tying tool, they must simply place the tool over the rebar section they intend to tie and pull the trigger. If a worker intends to tie rebar via the manual method, they must first cut a wire length that will be sufficient to tie around the rebar. Once they have done this, they must place this around the rebar intersection where the rebar crosses over with one another and tie them together using a plier. On both methods the tie should be tight enough that it securely holds the rebar together, but not so tight that it causes damage. It should be noted that before undertaking any rebar tying work, a professional should be consulted to ensure that safety is not compromised.
