Rebar cable ties

Cable Ties Bundle 11in 65lb

I prefer to use plastic cable ties to tie rebar because I don't like using steel in concrete. It's not a big issue as wire is thin diameter and when it rusts will not expand enough to crack the concrete, but even so I prefer to just avoid all steel. If using plastic tie wraps though, it is sensible to use strong ones. You want cable ties rated at 65 lb or greater.
