Three Groups of Strapping Tools
Pick the tool from the strap you run. Each strapping tool is built for one strap material and a set range of widths and thicknesses.
Battery and Pneumatic Tools
Tension, friction weld and cut PET or PP strap in one cycle. The joint needs no seal.
Steel Strapping Tools
Tensioners and sealers that crimp a seal, sealless tools that notch the strap, and pneumatic tools for heavy steel banding.
Dispenser Carts and Cutters
Carts that hold the coil and pay out strap without twisting, plus long-handle cutters for steel strap.
Plastic and Poly Strapping Tools: Battery, Pneumatic and Manual
These tools tension PET or PP strap, friction weld the overlap and cut the strap in one cycle. The joint needs no seal. In a battery powered strapping tool, a motor drives the tension wheel, so it works anywhere on the floor or in the yard. A pneumatic strapping tool runs on the plant air line and suits fixed stations with a steady pace.
Battery Powered Friction Weld Strapping Tools
Cordless tools for pallets, bundles and cartons. Some models ship with two batteries and a charger. One charge closes 100 to 500 straps, depending on the model and strap.
| Model | Strap width | Thickness | Strap | Max tension | Straps per charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JD13 / JD16 | 13 to 16 mm | 0.4 to 1.2 mm | PP / PET | 2,800 N | About 100 |
| JDC13 / JDC16 | 13 to 16 mm | 0.4 to 1.2 mm | PP / PET | 2,800 N | 100 to 220 |
| JDS13 / JDS16 | 13 to 16 mm | 0.4 to 1.2 mm | PP / PET | 3,200 N | 300 to 500 |
| DD160 / DD190 | 13 to 16 / 16 to 19 mm | 0.5 to 1.2 mm | PP / PET | 650 to 3,000 N | 100 to 200 |
| DD160T | 13 to 16 mm | 0.4 to 1.2 mm | PP / PET | 1,000 to 4,000 N | 350 to 500 |
| DD19A / DD25A | 16 to 19 / 19 to 25 mm | 0.5 to 1.2 mm | PET | 400 to 5,000 N | 100 to 200 |
Pneumatic Plastic Strapping Tools
Air tools for steady, high-volume industrial packaging. They run at 0.5 to 0.8 MPa and weigh about 3.8 kg. The XQD-32(A) takes 32 mm PET strap up to 1.5 mm thick for heavy loads such as steel coils and stone.
| Model | Strap width | Thickness | Max tension | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A19 / A25 | 13 to 19 / 19 to 25 mm | 0.5 to 1.2 / 0.5 to 1.5 mm | 3,500 N | Strap fed in two layers |
| CA19 / CA25, B19 / B25 | 13 to 19 / 19 to 25 mm | 0.5 to 1.2 / 0.5 to 1.5 mm | 3,500 N | No need to separate the strap layers |
| XQD-32(A) | 32 mm | 1.0 to 1.5 mm | 6,500 N | PET only, 6.5 kg |
| R19 / RS19 | 13 to 19 mm | 0.6 to 1.5 mm | Weld only | Straight or cross weld for bales and net strapping |
Manual Poly Strapping Tensioners and Sealers
A poly strapping tensioner pulls the strap tight and a sealer tool crimps a metal seal or buckle over the joint. They cost less than powered tools and need no battery or air, so they fit low-volume packing and field work. The ST13 and S13 combine tensioning, sealing and cutting in one manual tool for 13 mm PP strap.
| Model | Type | Strap | Width | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H19 + J19 | Tensioner + sealer | PP / PET | 13 to 19 mm | 0.5 to 1.0 mm |
| H19 + C380 | Tensioner + sealer | PP / PET | 16 to 19 mm | 0.5 to 1.0 mm |
| Light and heavy PP tensioners | Tensioner + sealer | PP | 12 to 16 mm | Not listed |
| ST13 / S13 | Three-in-one, ratchet or bearing type | PP | 13 mm | Not listed |
Cord Strapping Tensioners
The XW-20, XW-25, XW-32 and XW-50 tensioners tighten polyester cord and woven strap from 13 mm up to 20, 25, 32 or 50 mm wide. The joint is closed with a buckle, so no sealer is needed.
Heavy Duty Steel Strapping Tools: Tensioners, Sealers and Combination Tools
Steel banding tools come in three kinds. The usual setup is a separate tensioner for steel strap and a sealer, often sold together as a strapping kit: the tensioner pulls the steel band tight, then the sealer crimps a seal around the overlap. A sealless tool tensions the strap and cuts interlocking notches into both layers, so no seal is needed. Pneumatic combination tools do the tensioning and sealing with compressed air for heavy duty strapping and long shifts.
Tensioner and Sealer Sets
The tensioner pulls the steel band tight, then the sealer crimps a seal over the overlap. HB810 and HC810 to HC813 fit 3/8 to 3/4 in strap.
0.3 to 0.8 mm
Manual
Sealless Steel Strapping Tools
GD35 and A333 tension the strap and cut interlocking notches, so no seal is needed. Tension reaches 70 to 80% of the strap break strength.
0.38 to 0.8 mm
Manual
Pneumatic Steel Strapping Tools
Pneumatic combination tools tension and seal with compressed air. The KZ19-25-32 gives 9.8 kN tension for heavy duty strapping on coils.
0.8 to 1.2 mm
0.35 to 0.6 MPa air
| Model | Type | Strap width | Thickness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HB810, HC810 to HC813 | Tensioner and sealer | 9 to 19 mm (3/8 to 3/4 in) | 0.3 to 0.8 mm | Sealer about 0.83 kg |
| Lever tensioner and sealer sets | Tensioner and sealer | 12 to 16, 19 to 20 or 32 mm | Not listed | Heavier sets for 32 mm strap |
| GD35 | Manual sealless tool | 12.7 to 19 mm | 0.38 to 0.8 mm | Tension 70 to 80% of strap break strength |
| A333 | Manual sealless tool | 12.7 to 19 mm | 0.38 to 0.7 mm | 3.9 kg |
| KZ-19 / 16 / 13 | Pneumatic combination tool | 13, 16 or 19 mm | 0.35 to 0.65 mm | 4,500 N tension, 0.4 to 0.6 MPa |
| KZ19-25-32 | Pneumatic steel strapping tool | 19 to 32 mm | 0.8 to 1.2 mm | 9.8 kN tension, 0.35 to 0.6 MPa |
Seals for the sealer must match the strap width and the tool. Our strapping seals page lists open, closed and magazine seals for each width, and the steel strapping page lists the strap.
Battery, Pneumatic or Manual Strapping Tensioner: How to Choose
For a few dozen ties a day, a manual tensioner and sealer is usually enough. Above a few hundred straps a day, a battery or pneumatic tool saves labor and gives a more even tension from strap to strap.
- Battery powered: rechargeable battery, PET and PP strap, friction weld. Best when you move between pallets and yards; the running cost is battery wear.
- Pneumatic: plant air at 0.4 to 0.8 MPa, PET, PP or steel strap, friction weld or seal crimp. Best at fixed packing stations and long shifts.
- Manual: no power, steel, PET, PP or cord strap, joined with a seal, buckle or notch. Best for low volume, field work and as a backup; each joint uses a seal or buckle.
Check the Tension
Heavy steel coils and stone slabs need high tension, so check the tool’s maximum tension against your strap’s break strength. Send us the load, the strap and the straps per day, and we will suggest a tool.
Which Strapping Tool Fits Your Steel, Polyester or Polypropylene Strap?
Steel strapping needs a tensioner and a sealer that crimps a seal, or a sealless tool that notches the strap. PET and PP strapping are joined by heat: a battery or pneumatic tool tensions the strap and melts the two layers together by friction. Polyester cord strap is closed with a buckle and a hand tensioner. In short, the strapping material and the application decide the tool.
| Your strap | Width and thickness | Tools to look at |
|---|---|---|
| Steel strapping, light duty | 12.7 to 19 mm, 0.3 to 0.8 mm | Manual tensioner and sealer, sealless steel strapping tool |
| Steel strapping, heavy duty | 19 to 32 mm, 0.8 to 1.2 mm | Pneumatic steel strapping tool, heavy hand tensioner |
| PET strapping | 13 to 32 mm, 0.4 to 1.5 mm | Battery powered or pneumatic strapping tool |
| PP strapping | 12 to 19 mm, 0.4 to 1.2 mm | Battery tool, manual tensioner and sealer, three-in-one tool |
| Cord and woven strap | 13 to 50 mm | Cord strap tensioner |

Strapping Tools FAQ
Short answers to the questions buyers ask us about strapping and banding tools.
What is a strapping tool?
A hand-held tool that pulls a strap tight around a load and joins the two ends. Plastic strapping tools friction weld PET or PP strap; steel strapping tools crimp a seal or cut a sealless joint.
What is the difference between a strapping tool and a banding tool?
They are the same tools. Banding tool is the common US name, especially for steel banding.
Can one tool handle steel and plastic strap?
No. Steel strapping needs steel tools and seals. PET and PP strapping use friction weld tools or plastic strap tensioners and sealers.
Which strapping tool should I choose for PET strap?
A battery powered strapping tool for mobile work, or a pneumatic tool at a fixed station. Match the tool’s width and thickness range to your PET strap.
How tight should strap be tensioned?
Enough to hold the load without crushing it. On steel strapping, sealless tools such as the GD35 reach 70 to 80% of the strap’s break strength.
Do I need seals with a battery strapping tool?
No. Battery and pneumatic plastic tools weld the strap to itself.
Do you make these tools?
We supply them. We make the steel strapping, PET strapping and seals they are used with, and we check that each tool matches the strap in your order.
Can I order tools without strap?
Yes, though most buyers add tools to a strap or seal order so everything ships in one container.
