August 17, 2021, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools and accessories, has launched the Rebar Tying Stand-Up Extension Handle (191M28-8). The extension handle connects to the 18V LXT® Rebar Tying Tool (XRT01, sold separately) and enables contractors to tie rebar from a standing position.
“The rebar tying application just got a whole lot simpler,” said David Fernandez, product manager, metalworking & concrete products, Makita U.S.A. “The 18-volt LXT Rebar Tying Tool simplifies the rebar tying process, which means increased productivity and labor savings. Now, the new extension handle further simplifies any close-to-ground tying applications by allowing contractors to tie rebar in concrete deck work without having to bend down to reach the application.”

For fast reel changes, the efficient loading design has an automatic locking mechanism built into the protective cover.
