| New Cable Tie Installation Tool  Thomas & Betts' Ty-Rap Cable Tie Installation Tool eases user fatigue with patent-pending features, including an adjustable grip span to fit any hand and an anti-recoil cut-off mechanism that reduces vibration when installing cable ties. Other patent-pending features include a high-low handle force mode, which offers the low required handle force, and interchangeable tool heads, which provide flexibility for the user to have one tool that covers the 18 to 120 pound range of cable ties. The patented 360º rotating nose eliminates the need to twist the tool when the cable tie orientation is rotated.The new Ty-Rap Cable Tie Installation Tool offers variable tension settings, which enable the user to install a range of cable ties to the desired application tension required. Other advantages include a flush cut when the tool severs the cable tie's tail, eliminating sharp edges that may cut the installer or nearby objects, and a one-inch stroke length, which saves time and cost by requiring fewer handle tensioning cycles. Constructed of a rugged high-impact polymer, the Ty-Rap Cable Tie Installation Tool's other ergonomic features include a lightweight, balanced design and a soft-grip, over-molded handle with rounded edges. A wide insertion gap makes loading cable ties easier. The nose features a narrow design to reach tight spaces and stainless steel construction for increased durability. The handle includes an eyelet to secure the tool to a workstation and a compartment for a spare blade. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
