    Use these tensioners to draw metal strapping tight around packages. These tensioners hold the bottom strap while either a feedwheel or gripper bites into the strap and tightens it.
    Note: To match with compatible metal strapping, choose items with the same strapping material, width, and thickness or material and strapping group number.
    For Open Seals—Tensioners for open seals are for use on flat surfaces. Strapping is wrapped around the package and overlapped on top.
    For Closed Seals—Tensioners for closed seals are for use on irregular surfaces as well as rounded objects. Place the seal on one end and fold strapping back to form a hook, and then slide the other end of the strapping through the seal. Tensioners push against the seal as they tighten strapping.
    Styles A-C—Style A, B, and C tensioners have a lever handle that you squeeze to tighten the tension. They have unlimited ratcheting take-up, so they can be continually tensioned until tight.
    Style D—Style D tensioners have a wing handle that you spin to tighten the tension. They have limited ratcheting take-up, so they can only be tensioned to a certain point before they need to be reset. When the gripper moves all the way back to the handle, you’ll know they need to be reset.

    These tensioners apply maximum tension to pull strapping more tightly around packages than standard tensioners for metal strapping. They work on irregular surfaces as well as rounded objects. Place the seal on one end and fold strapping back to form a hook, and then slide the other end of the strapping through the seal. Tensioners push against the seal as they tighten strapping, creating high tension without slip. Pull strapping tight manually before applying tension.
    Note: To match with compatible strapping, choose items with the same strapping material, width, and thickness or material and strapping group number.
    Style A—Style A tensioners have a wing handle that you spin to tighten the tension.
    Styles B-D—Style B, C, and D tensioners have a lever handle that you squeeze to tighten the tension.
    Limited Ratcheting Take Up—Tensioners with limited ratcheting take-up can only be tensioned to a certain point before they need to be reset.
    Unlimited Ratcheting Take Up—Tensioners with unlimited ratcheting take-up can be continually tensioned until tight.

    Tensioners/Sealers for Metal Strapping

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Strapping Tensioners/Sealers. Tensioners/Sealers for Metal Strapping.
    These tools do double duty, pulling metal strapping tight and then fastening it, without the use of a separate seal. They create a joint by crimping interlocking notches into the strapping and cutting off the excess.
    Note: To match with compatible strapping, choose items with the same strapping material, width, and thickness or material and strapping group number.
