Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for securing (joining or splicing) steel reinforcing bars; i.e., 'rebars', together, end-to-end or to provide a deadend connection to one end of a rebar. More particularly, the invention includes a rebar connection body having rebar-receiving openings at either end and two rows of spaced-apart parallel openings along the length of the body. The invention further includes U-shaped staples which are inserted in the parallel holes and forcefully driven onto the rebars, broaching such to create a secure mechanical connection between the body and rebars.
