Choosing the right manual strapping tool starts with the application, not the catalog. Follow these steps to specify the correct tool.
Step 1 — Define the load
Weight, shape and whether the load settles during transit determine strap type and tool strength.
Step 2 — Confirm strap width
Each tool supports a width range (for example 12–19 mm). Match it to the strap you stock.
Step 3 — Choose operation style
Separate tensioner + sealer, or a single combination tool. Combination tools are faster; separate tools are often cheaper per unit.
