MAX USA CORP. announces the availability of their New RB655 Rebar Tying Tool to the U.S. and Canadian markets. The New RB655 is replacing the MAX RB650A. This exciting new tool is capable of tying rebar up to #9 x #8 rebar. The tool ties by wrapping 16-gauge TW1525 wire around the tying area, cuts and twists in approximately one second. This extraordinary new tool is an incredible labor saving device capable of reducing costs up to 1/5th of current budgets. The MAX Rebar Tier quickly pays for itself and then turns over a profit in no time.

The MAX RB655 tying times per charge was increased by 30%. The life of the twisting motor is five times longer than the previous model. A PC board now controls the rotation of the RB655 twisting motor and this enables the tool to perform better at lower temperatures. The simple operation of the RB655 reduces potential wrist damage and helps reduce medical costs. Carpal Tunnel claims are greatly reduced when workers use the rebar tools instead of tying by hand. Published NIOSH report (HEATA #2003-0146-2976) and the Canadian Safety Association of Ontario Final Report (WSIB Grant #01023) both support these statements. 

MAX USA CORP. is headquartered in Mineola, NY, and is owned by MAX CO., LTD. which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. MAX is recognized as a market leader in quality manufacturing of pneumatic nailing tools for over 55 years. MAX has several divisions employing more than 2,000 people worldwide including 140 R&D engineers.
