FEATURES OF THE U-BINDER
  Tie rebar up to combined 1-1/4" with 2 wraps of 20 gauge wire in just 1 second.  The next model of U-Binder, set to debut early in 2009, will tie 2" rebar (combined) with 1 wrap of 16 gauge wire - also in just 1 second. 

The U-BINDER design is simple and robust.  The hard plastic body is 1/8" thick, and the jaws are cast iron Place the jaws over the rebar joint, and 1 push of the button clasps the jaws, then double wraps, ties and cuts the wire - in 1 second.  There are no unnecessary bells or whistles, ensuring reliable operation - no jams - and easy maintenance that can be performed on site.

The 20" length makes U-Binder ideal for tying rebar at foot-level or overhead in comfort and without clumsy attachments - It's an extension of the operator's arm.  It's only 4" tall, making it possible to fit between rebar joints in order to tie multiple layers of rebar.

Using an extended tool is only possible if the tool is light-weight.  U-Binder weighs only 4lbs, so one-hand operation is possible.  This weight reduction was made possible by designing a waste-battery pack.  Each U-Binder comes with 2 batteries, each capable of 450 ties and chargeable in 60 minutes.  Estimated 225,000 ties per battery life.

   

In addition to low weight and convenient length, the         U-Binder trigger handle has a release that allows repositioning at 30-degrees off center.

The one-button operation allows for continuous operation.  Ties are consistent regardless of operator skill or experience, and the fast pace of work can be maintained without safety or fatigue concerns.

U-BINDER will be sold in a durable, hard-plastic black carrying case, including:

  • U-Binder Rebar Tier
  • 3 spools of wire
  • 2 battery waste-packs
  • 1 battery charger & cable

Wire will be carried by authorized dealers in cases of 50 spools.

 

Wire tension and quality of tie is easily controlled and adjusted using a tension dial on the back side of the unit.

A button on the same side as the tension dial releases the wire spool.  New spools fit on the spindle and turn to click engage.  Jaw release lever is opened, wire passed into the center of the jaws, and jaw release lever closed.

The U-Binder can be tested before going on site - it can spin & cut wire without rebar.
