FAQs
Q: What are the main advantages of using KODI KLIP® Rebar Connectors over wire-tying rebar?Read more »
A: KODI KLIPs significantly reduce installation time – by up to 80% – compared to hand-tying. They offer consistent, secure connections, reduce worker fatigue, and improve jobsite safety by eliminating wire scraps and repetitive wrist motion injuries.

Q: How do KODI KLIPs compare to welding for securing rebar intersections? Read more »
A: KODI KLIPs are faster, safer, and easier to install than welding. They don’t require skilled labor, fire permits, or post-inspection for weld integrity, making them ideal for precast plants and job sites with tight schedules or safety constraints.
Close
Q: Are KODI KLIPs strong enough to replace tie wire or welds in structural applications? Read more »
A: Yes. Independent lab tests and field usage confirm that KODI KLIPs meet or exceed strength requirements for typical reinforcement assemblies, especially in precast and non-seismic work where speed and consistency are critical. Close
Q: Can KODI KLIPs be used in all types of rebar sizes and configurations? Read more »
A: KODI offers Klips for a wide range of bar sizes and angles. They’re especially effective in repetitive setups like cages, mats, and grids found in precast concrete and flatwork. Specialized Klips accommodate multiple bar intersections. Close
Q: Do I need a special tool to install KODI KLIPs?Read more »
A: Yes. KODI KLIPs are installed using a lightweight, battery-operated or pneumatic KODI gun, which drives the Klip securely in seconds with minimal effort – no twisting or welding required.

Q: How do KODI KLIPs affect jobsite safety?Read more »
A: They eliminate exposed tie wire ends that can cause cuts and snags. Crews also avoid repetitive motion injuries and welding-related risks. KODI KLIPs promote a cleaner, safer work area.
Close
Q: Are KODI KLIPs more expensive than tie wire?Read more »
A: On a per-piece basis, yes – but labor savings, faster production, reduced injuries, and higher quality control usually result in a lower total installed cost compared to tying or welding.
Close
Q: Where are KODI KLIPs most commonly used?Read more »
A: They’re widely used in precast concrete manufacturing, tilt-up construction, foundation work, and highway/bridge decking – anywhere repetitive rebar connections are made and productivity matters.
Close
Q: Can KODI KLIPs be used in outdoor or harsh jobsite environments?Read more »
A: Yes. KODI KLIPs are made from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate, making them suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor conditions. They hold up well in heat, cold, rain, mud, and dusty environments, and are designed for rugged jobsite use.
Close
Q: Will using KODI KLIPs speed up overall project timelines?Read more »
A: Absolutely. Faster rebar assembly means shorter forming and pouring cycles, allowing crews to move through projects more quickly. Precasters and contractors regularly see measurable productivity gains when switching from tying or welding to Klipping.
Close
Q: Are there any training or learning curves involved in switching to KODI KLIPs?Read more »
A: Minimal. Crews typically master the KODI KLIP gun in under an hour. Since the process is intuitive and ergonomic, precasters and contractors consistently see improved quality and fewer installation errors compared to hand-tying.
