Key Features

capacity
Deep Rebar Range
The GRT01D handles rebar combinations from #3 x #3 up to #9 x #8 with 16 gauge black annealed steel wire rated for up to 65% stronger ties. The 32 wire reels in this bundle — each delivering up to 245 ties — keep the tool productive through large reinforcement layouts without constant resupply stops.
runtime
More Ties Per Charge
Up to 3,600 ties per charge with two rotating 2.5Ah XGT batteries means fewer forced stops on active rebar work. The MAKTRAK rolling chest with dedicated battery storage tray keeps both packs organized and ready on the jobsite.

Complete Jobsite Package
The MAKTRAK T-90009 rolling chest adds 5,000 cu in. of modular storage with 9 in. all-terrain wheels and a horizontal low-profile design that fits under most truck bed covers — keeping the tying tool, batteries, charger, and wire reels organized and mobile.

Overview

This bundle combines the Makita GRT01D 40V max XGT Brushless 16 Gauge Rebar Tying Tool Kit (2.5Ah), the Makita T-90009 MAKTRAK Rolling Tool Chest, and the Makita 1915N0-0 Steel Tie Wire Reel 32-Pack into a complete, production-ready rebar tying setup. Model Numbers: GRT01D (tying tool kit), T-90009 (rolling chest), 1915N0-0 (wire reels). If you are tying steel on slab work, bridge work, tilt-up jobs, pool construction, conduit runs, or pre-cast work, this bundle gives you the tool, the consumables, and the mobile storage to run the job without piecing together components separately.

The GRT01D is a purpose-built cordless production tying tool. Makita rates it for up to 3,600 ties per charge using a 40V max XGT 2.5Ah battery, with up to 245 ties per reel on #3 x #3 rebar. It covers a minimum tying capacity of #3 x #3 rebar and a maximum of #9 x #8, including deep tying capability for congested reinforcement. Six tie strength settings let you match tension to the application rather than over-tightening every tie. The tool is also engineered to dispense the exact amount of wire each tie needs, which controls consumable cost on jobs where reel volume is significant. The brushless powertrain runs on Makita's XGT platform and includes Extreme Protection Technology for dust and water resistance plus digital battery-tool communication for overload, over-discharge, and overheating protection. Two 2.5Ah XGT batteries and an XGT Rapid Charger are included in the kit.

The 1915N0-0 wire reel 32-pack keeps the GRT01D productive between supply runs. Each reel uses 16 gauge black annealed steel wire — the same spec Makita rates at up to 65% stronger ties — with a place-and-feed easy-load design for fast reel swaps. At up to 245 ties per reel across 32 reels, this pack gives crews a meaningful working supply instead of a short-run starter amount.

The T-90009 MAKTRAK Rolling Tool Chest is the mobile staging piece that ties the setup together. The horizontal design holds up to 5,000 cu in. and 250 lbs., with a dual-hinged removable lid that provides access from both sides — useful when the chest is loaded in a truck bed or packed into a van. An included storage tray is designed with dedicated space for a charger and batteries, turning the chest into a mobile charging point. The 9 in. all-terrain wheels and Gecko Grip handle handle curb edges, gravel, and unfinished ground between the truck and the work area, and the low horizontal profile fits under most truck bed covers for secure transport. Metal reinforced locking points, a hidden Security Tracker slot, and large glove-friendly latches handle the security and usability details. The chest is part of the MAKTRAK modular system, with dual-direction top and front cleat mounting for up to three stacks.

Who should buy this bundle? Concrete crews, bridge and road contractors, tilt-up teams, pre-cast shops, and ironworkers who tie rebar at production volume and need the tool, consumables, and organized mobile storage in one purchase.

Built for Repetitive Reinforcement Work

Makita GRT01D 40V max XGT Brushless 16 Gauge Rebar Tying Tool Kit with battery installed, shown as a cordless rebar fastening tool for concrete reinforcement work on commercial and residential jobsites

This is a purpose-built tying tool, not a general fastening tool dressed up for concrete work. The nose, reel housing, hook, and controls are all laid out around repeated tying cycles on rebar mats and mesh — and the rolling chest and 32-reel wire supply in this bundle keep the tool moving through the job without stopping for resupply.

  • Brushless motor for high-cycle cordless performance on XGT platform
  • Easy-load wire reel design with automatic locking protective cover
  • Lock-off button helps prevent accidental startup on a busy site
  • Hook fits up to #6 rebar for jobsite storage between cycles
  • 32 wire reels provide up to 7,840 ties before resupply is needed
  • MAKTRAK chest keeps batteries, charger, and wire reels organized and mobile

Pro Tip

specs

Stage the MAKTRAK chest at the edge of the pour area with one battery in the charger and the second in the tying tool. With up to 3,600 ties per charge and 36 wire reels in this bundle, a well-staged crew can run through large mats without coming back to the truck. Use the six strength settings on the GRT01D — dial down for lighter mesh intersections and up for heavier bar combinations — to manage wire use across a full day of tying without over-tightening every joint.

Tool Nut's Take

Tool Nut's Take

Makita GRT01D Rebar Tying Tool + MAKTRAK Rolling Chest + 32-Pack Wire Reels — A Complete Production Rebar Tying Setup

This is a serious production rebar tying package for crews that need cordless speed, stronger 16 gauge ties, real wire supply, and organized mobile storage — without sourcing each piece separately.

  • Who it's for: Concrete crews, bridge and road contractors, tilt-up teams, pre-cast shops, ironworkers, and anyone tying rebar or mesh often enough that hand tying slows the whole job down.
  • Why it stands out: Up to 3,600 ties per charge, #3 x #3 to #9 x #8 capacity, 36 total wire reels for up to 8,820 ties before resupply, and a rolling chest that organizes the whole setup for truck-to-jobsite mobility. That is a complete, day-one-ready production package.
  • Worth knowing: This is a specialized tool with a premium price, so it makes the most sense when rebar fastening is a regular part of your workflow. The 1915N0-0 wire reels are GRT01-specific — they are not general-purpose wire spools. And the MAKTRAK chest charger tray is designed for cordless gear but does not include a second charger.
