The JK1219 seals, tightens and cuts steel strapping quickly & easily. It handles 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ strapping, is very easy to use and has been designed for minimal movements to seal steel strapping in just seconds. The steel strap is pulled through the tool, and the initial tension held by a ratcheting freewheel. The strap is tightened by pulling the tensioning handle. The strap is punched and cut in one single movement. The punched steel strap edges are automatically curved inwards to prevent injury and to take up any slack as necessary.
