Polyester Strapping Tools
Polyester-strapping tools apply controlled tension and create the required joint on compatible polyester strap. Match width, thickness, seal or weld method, and production volume. 1. Match the tool to the strapping material. Steel, polypropylene, polyester, and cord systems use different tensioners, sealers, cutters, welders, and buckles. 2. Match width and thickness. A tool that fits one strap specification should not be assumed to handle another. 3. Choose manual or powered operation from volume. Production speed and ergonomics affect the best tool choice. 4. Follow tool-safety and maintenance instructions. Strapping stores tension, and cut ends can be hazardous—especially steel. A tensioner pulls the strap tight; a sealer, crimper, buckle, or weld creates the joint; a cutter removes excess material. Some combination tools perform multiple steps, while higher-volume systems automate parts of the process. Use the exact tool specifications for strap material, width, thickness, seal style, power source, and maintenance. An incompatible tool can produce a weak joint even when the strap itself is correctly selected.

No. Manual tools can be appropriate at lower volume. The strap system is only as reliable as its applied tension and joint.
