Stainless Steel Strapping Kit- Metal Banding Tool Tensioner/Cutter Made in USA

  

Stainless Steel Strapping Kit Metal Strapping Banding Tool Tensioner Bander/Cutter Made in USA. This a unique bundle which includes the Tensioner/Cutter, about 80 feet of 3/4 stainless steel. 032 strapping and 3 end clamps. I've had it for 50 years and never used it.

I've included some pictures and prices of similar items for sale today (as an example) that are made in Taiwan or elsewhere. Apparently they don't even make strapping in. This a combination tool for stainless-steel (or other metal) strapping that can be carried to the work location and does not require an external power source or attachments, so they are often used in low-volume applications or where access to a power source is not available These tools tension and cut the strapping on flat and round surfaces. Tensioners ensure that straps fit snugly around the package or bundle without overtightening that can cause damage to the bundle contents. Strapping cutters trim strapping to the required length before or after tensioning. The end clamps are used to secure the end of the stainless steel tape after trimming the end. The bundle includes the tensioner/cutter tool, about 80 feet of 3/4 stainless steel. 032 strapping tape and 3 clamps.

This is a very good deal when compared to today's prices for a tool and strapping that are not made in the USA.
