Tried those new plastic rebar chairs on a job last month and they snapped under the first load of brick
Switched back to the old metal wire ones after the plastic ones crumbled on a 90 degree day in Phoenix and I had to redo the whole pour, has anyone else had better luck with a different brand?

The plastic ones from GreenLine failed on me last summer when the temp hit 95 in Atlanta. I had 4 of them snap right in the middle of a slab pour and it cost me half a day to fix it. Ended up using the old red metal ones from Southern Wire, they bent a little but held up fine through the whole thing.

The old metal ones always seem to find a way to hold up. Had a similar thing with plastic chairs on a retaining wall job in Colorado, they just got brittle in the cold. Back to metal for me too.
