Abstract: The present disclosure provides kits, apparatuses, adjustable tracks, systems, or processes for fastening elongate objects such as reinforcing bar (rebar) in place either to tack the elongate objects together for subsequent welding, or alternatively, as a final fastener when, for example, the elongate objects are subsequently to be embedded in a material such as concrete.

Abstract: A tie installing tool for tying together at least two crossed rods arranged to be non-parallel and touching one another, comprising a tie ejector, an anvil which deforms dispensed ties to encircle the at least two crossed rods, and an actuator operable to move the anvil between a deployed position encircling the at least two crossed rods and a released position from which the tool can be disengaged from the at least two crossed rods. The anvil may comprise two opposing hinged jaws each having a groove therein for deforming one end of a dispensed tie to encircle the at least two crossed rods. The actuator may include a plunger which is displaced when the tie installing tool is pressed against at least one of the two crossed rods, and a linkage which moves the two opposing hinged jaws between the deployed position and the released position.
