Types of tools and accessories;
Tensioning and sealing tools
Separate sealing and tension tools. Typically these are popular where strapping is being applied to products or pallets less frequently and the cost of a combination tool isn’t justified. The tensioning tool works on a flat surface (vertical or horizontal) with the ends of the strapping being fed into the tool and the tension being applied using the handle. Once the required degree of tension has been applied the metal seal can be crimped around the strap using a hand sealing tool.
Combination tools
Ergonomically designed combination tools. A combination tool is a single, manually operated unit that replaces separate tools to tension, seal and cut plastic or steel strapping.
