Rebar tying tool
A rebar tying tool ties together two or more rebars using a wire. The rebar tying tool may include: a reel comprising the wire wound on a bobbin; a reel-holding part configured to hold the reel in a rotatable manner; a feed part configured to advance the wire from the reel by a number of turns of the wire around the rebars; and a twisting part configured to twist the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars. The wire preferably has a maximum tensile load of at least 700 N. Preferably, the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars has an overall maximum tensile load of at least 1,050 N, which is calculated by multiplying the maximum tensile load of the wire by the number of turns of the wire around the rebars.
1. A rebar tying tool configured to tie together rebars using a wire, comprising:
a reel having the wire wound on a bobbin;
a reel-holding part configured to hold the reel in a rotatable manner;
a feed part configured to advance the wire from the reel by a number of turns of the wire around the rebars; and
a twisting part configured to twist the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars;
wherein the rebar tying tool is configured such that the following conditions are satisfied:
the wire has a maximum tensile load of at least 700 N;
the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars has an overall maximum tensile load of at least 1,050 N, the overall maximum tensile load being calculated by multiplying the maximum tensile load of the wire by the number of turns of the wire around the rebars;
the wire has a yield-point load of at least 450 N; and
the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars has an overall yield-point load of at least 700 N, the overall yield-point load being calculated by multiplying the yield-point load of the wire by the number of turns of the wire around the rebars.
