Abstract
A rebar tying tool includes: a twisting motor, which actuates a twisting member that twists a wire, which has been wound around rebars; a main-body housing, which houses the twisting motor; and a first illumination member, which is held on the main-body housing and shines light toward the rebar. A method for tying the rebars using the wire includes first shining light emitted from the rebar tying tool toward the rebars and then twisting the wire, which has been wound around the rebars.
