Makita has expanded its range with the introduction of its new TR001GZ 40VMax XGT cordless Rebar Tying Tool.
The TR001GZ is powered by the Makita XGT high voltage platform and uses 1.6mm wire, with easy wire loading, to support a wide range of rebar combinations.
The tying tool offers both single and serial binding modes, allowing users to adapt the tool to specific tasks. It is designed to effectively bind up to four rebars with cross sections of (16 x 16) x (16 x 16) mm, three rebars up to (19 x 19) x 25 mm and two rebars up to 25 x 29 mm.
The adjustable binding force enables users to match the tensions of the material reducing the risk of damage to joined elements. With dual brushless motors for wire feeding and twisting, the clockwork twisting mechanism helps to reduce the risk of accidental loosening when the binding is retightened by hand.
Marketing manager at Makita UK, Kevin Brannigan, commented: “The new TR001GZ 40VMax Rebar Trying Tool is a great addition to our XGT power tool range. Not only does it deliver fast and consistent high strength ties, but its ergonomic design and compact size means the tool is easy to handle, even in tight or hard to reach areas.”
