The Rebar Hanger is simply slid over the vertical rebar, slit down inside the concrete block cell, and hung on to the horizontal rebar. This will allow a company to hang or position four to six vertical rebar in the same time it would take two men to hang and position one rebar using conventional methods. The Rebar Spreader is used, primarily, to position and spread rebar, in order to allow for easy grout pouring using a stinger to vibrate grout down the concrete block cells. For more information, call 801-920-1463.
