My crew uses so many 16 gauge double loop rebar ties out on our job sites that we have to order them by the thousands.
It’s one of those building materials that we never want to run out of because everyone uses them. Of course, we use them for tying rebar when we are doing concrete work, but we have also found that this same size and type of double loop rebar ties are really great for when we are working on scaffolding, too. Between the concrete jobs and all of the work that we have to do on scaffolding, we end up using thousands upon thousands of 16 gauge double loop rebar ties every time that we do a job. Last year when we worked on a huge apartment complex, I bet that we went through at least ten thousand double loop rebar ties and that’s no joke. The guys on the job site use these things for literally everything. One guy told me that he actually swiped some off of the last job site because he wanted to take them home to tie up the tomatoes in his garden. Another guy that I know uses them in his garage to attach loose wires and car parts under the hoods of various cars that he works on. Yet another one told me that he took some to tie up the lanterns at his camp site around his picnic table by his camper. I guess the possibilities are endless, but now I know why we have to keep ordering more of them!

Both sizes are made in the USA and they are certified domestic wire ties.
Last week, my assistant accidentally ordered the wrong size double loop rebar ties for us from our supplier. We are in the middle of a huge job, and we are right in the middle of the concrete pour portion of the project. Somehow we ended up running out of the double loop rewired ties that we always use, and so I had my assistant order them for us right away. I even had him get them shipped the next day so that we could get them in time to keep us right on schedule. Well, then a lot of things went wrong. First of all, they could not ship them the next day. They had to wait two days to ship them and then it was the weekend and so now we are four days off schedule. That wasn’t their fault though.The bad thing that happened was that my assistant actually ordered the wrong size double loop rebar ties when he called. We needed 16 gauge double loop rebar ties and he ordered the 14 gauge double loop rebar ties. In his defense, they are the same kind of wire ties and they are also the same length. Both sizes are made in the USA and they are certified domestic wire ties. However, we only use the 16 gauge double loop rebar ties and that’s the only thing that we have ever used! I just don’t understand how my assistant ended up ordering the wrong size. By now, he should know that we only ever order the 16 gauge wire ties. I’m not trying to place blame on anyone, but I am pretty mad that we are four days off schedule now.

My husband has about 15 different campers that he rents out to people.
This is what he does for a living, and he’s really good at it.
He has become a basic know it all when it comes to fixing campers and keeping them in good working condition. He usually has two or three campers going out of trips or coming back in from trips every single day. Whenever they come back in, he has to clean them and get all of the repairs done on them before they have to go out again on their next scheduled trip. He really likes doing this job, and I’m glad that he enjoys it. One of the things that he uses a lot of that you would never really think about him using are these little wire fastener things called double loop wire ties. Whenever he first bought 2000 of these little things, I never thought that he would use them all up in a million years. I asked him why in the world he got so many of them, but he told me that 2000 was the smallest quantity that he could purchase from the website. When he got 2000 of them shipped to him, I thought that they would be showing up around the house for the next twenty years. However, my husband uses the double loop wire ties for everything on these campers. He uses them to hold down tarps, to fix the awnings, and to hold materials in place both inside and underneath the campers. He goes through bags and bags of them.

Last week my boss wanted me to order these double loop wire ties that we needed for a big concrete job that we were working on.
Actually, the job itself is a whole entire building downtown, but we were working on the foundation part of the building and we were getting ready to pour the concrete.
Whenever we pour concrete, we always make sure to tie our rebar together to make everything more stable. My boss loves using these American made double loop rebar ties that he orders from one specific company. I don’t know what happened to me that day. I don’t know if I spaced out or what, but when I called up the company to order the 16 gauge double loop rebar ties that we always order, I somehow ended up ordering the 14 gauge double loop ties instead. They come in bags of 5000, and when we got a big shipment of them and they were 14 gauge double loop ties instead of the 16 gauge rebar wire ties that we always get, my boss nearly lost his mind. He was so mad that I had inadvertently caused us to get off track with our schedule that I was really worried for his health. He looked like his head was going to explode. Of course, the whole thing was my fault, but I didn’t do it on purpose! Also, this was the first big mistake that I have ever made on the job so he ended up taking it easy on me. I guess it could have been worse.
