Engineered for stronger ties, deep tying capacity, and greater efficiency, the 40V max XGT 16 Gauge Rebar Tying Tool (GRT01) dispenses the exact amount of wire each tie needs which cuts production costs with more cost savings per tie.
“Makita has always been an innovation leader and continues that tradition with the world’s first 40V 16-gauge Rebar Tying Tool, delivering up to 65% stronger ties,” said Nicole Tougas, Makita senior product manager for commercial products. “The GRT01 brings a new level of performance to the market, with the strength that no rebar tying tool has been able to deliver in this category until now.”
She said Makita worked diligently with its ironworker partners to understand their needs and the result is the new XGT rebar tying tool.
According to Tougas, the 16 Gauge Rebar Tying Tool is ideal for a range of trades and applications, from commercial buildings, road and bridge, and tilt-up construction to pool and residential building, electrical conduit installation, pre-cast, and more.
It offers up to 65% stronger ties with 16-gauge wire with deep capacity to tie wire mesh by wire mesh, as well as #3 x #3 rebar, up to #9 x #8 rebar. On a single 40V max XGT 2.5Ah battery charge, the GRT01Z can deliver up to 3,600 ties of #3 x #3 diameter rebar.
The GRT01 features six tie strength settings to match various tension strength requirements. It also features a lock-off button that helps prevent accidental start-up. The side hook fits up to #6 rebar for ease of storage on a jobsite.
Accessories such as the Makita Rebar Tying Stand-Up Extension Handle which is engineered to perform close-to-ground rebar tying applications from a standing position, which reduces user fatigue and the Makita 16-gauge Steel Tie Wire to meet strength and Made in the USA requirements.
