The new DTR180ZK Rebar Tying tool is powered by a Brushless motor, for extended runtime and increased power, and is compatible with both 14.4V and 18V Makita Lithium-Ion batteries.

Weighing a comfortable 2.6kg, with the battery, the DTR180ZK is designed to achieve the fastest method of applying rebar ties quickly and consistently and automatically delivers double loop ties for a range of construction applications such as building concrete foundations. It can be operated by a single hand operation, in single or continuous action, allowing the other hand to remain free to adjust the position of the rebars. This tool can be used with D10, D13 and D16 rebar in varying combinations of 2, 3 and 4 pieces of rebars.
