Different types of ties and using your rebar benders effectively are discussed in depth. How to bend rebar using the opposing forces method and what can be done with the open ended handle of your bender bars. And, why I like to keep it open versus welding it closed. Other important tips are included to help keep you safe and make shaping steel as painless as possible.
