you could look into a rebar tying battery powered gun. Big bucks though

As I've said earlier in this post, think light weight and simple for tools you need to carry in the woods. Ii don't see any advantage to carrying a heavy tool to eliminate a simple task using a tool that weighs just a small fraction of the spare battery you'll need to carry for the power tool.

Quick answer to that one would be time is the advantage. I can tie pipe as the same speed I walk though the woods (except when changing the role of course haha). 2 weekends ago I went to tie up 4000 feet of pipe starting at 8:00. it sure was nice being in the house by 11:30 for lunch.

Max twintier 441t is the ultimate answer. I can tie 2-3000 feet per hour. The price is a bit of a set back and I presume will keep most producers, especially small producers from going that route. for an installer like me it is a no brainer.

I agree! I love my Max tier too. I’ve owned one for 8 years, take good care of it and it will last a long time.

i use the Galvanized wire for the twin tier it works great. Nobody stocks the SS option in my area and its about 3 times the price.
I use their galvanized wire, there is a ss option however its 3 times the cost and hard to get. I have wire that's been out 8+ years with no issues yet

They also make a PVC coated wire. I don't know what it cost.
