These Strange Makita Tools WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!

What happens here

The presenter showcases Makita's rebar tying tools. First, a previous generation rebar tier (model RB443T, TwinTier) is shown, highlighting its use of 19 gauge wire. Then, the new 40V Max 16-gauge rebar tier is introduced. The key advantage is its stronger 16 gauge wire, which allows for single wraps instead of double, while still achieving a stronger tie. A 'torture test' demonstrates the Makita tool's superior strength by bending and breaking rebar without breaking the tie, unlike the competitor's tool.

Goal: Illustrate the strength and efficiency of Makita's new 40V Max rebar tier against competitors.

this video going shooting the same wire that you're shooting your hand tying with so also capacity you're up to a combination of number 17 here so 116 107 28 35s 4 fours whatever it may be going against our biggest competitor the max twin Tire what we're showing here is we're shooting 16 gauge wire compared to a 19 gauge so instead of wrapping it twice we're only going to wrap it one time and we're going to get a stronger TI that's what this your tie this on here tie this on here now this one always is set to a dual gauge wire twin tie yeah twin tie you guys are single tie all right and now we're going to do the torture test here we go we're going to put some pressure on go fail I saw it huh I saw it you saw it fail I saw it there let's do it again let's leave our there okay let's back it up let's back it up okay let lar least leave it there leave it there let's do two since you walked on the mat you didn't break it the first time we're going to see if we can break it now okay fail fail so you walked on your mat and you just broke all your fail fail we have our new 40 volt Max 16 gauge go any further I'm going to jump in here cuz watch in the background you're going to see little Snippets and it's the competition and they're not from the United States of America and they are filming and recording everything we're doing to the point where I've got to actually get in front of them and cut them off so that I can record for you guys here so this is the world's first 40 volt Max 16 gauge rebar tire so when I say 16 gauge I can turn it on first that Mak this is the same gauge wire that you see in mangual tying compared to the twin Tire over there that we just went head to-head on they have a dual 19
