When you splice reinforcement bars the Hardman way:

1. The joint is as strong as our molded-steel couplers — and stronger at the splice than the reinforcement bar itself.
2. Our hydraulic equipment can be operated safely at temperatures from -40 to +120 F (-40 to +50 C).
3. Splice in vertical and horizontal positions, anywhere on your building — even underwater!
4. Equipment can be operated by a single worker — full training usually takes about an hour.
