Strapping Tool Kit

Really nice tensioner! Everything is strong, well constructed, and solid. It comes with instructions, though the process is super easy. There are materials that are wonderful for anyone using this kit to ship boxes, etc. As for me, I got this kit to add 55 gallon plastic drums and braces to the underside of my pontoon houseboat build. The straps will hold the barrels firmly in place in the brace well, turning my pontoon houseboat into a "quadtoon" houseboat. I couldn't be more pleased. Also the white straps just blend right in to my white 55 gallon plastic barrels. Nice and flush!

The kit worked as it should once you get the hang of it. I came with plenty of clamps and strapping material.

Used for packaging

As others have said, the included instructions are useless but there are plenty of good ones on the internet. Use of the tensioner is easy to understand with a good video or illustration. You'll have to wing it on how much to tighten since there is there is no indication of how strong the bands are or when to stop tightening. The buckle crimper is awkward to use and takes a bit or brute force. Be sure you keep the buckle properly positioned in the tool's jaws and it will do a good job. I successfully double banded a 62 pound shipment on the first try and the tools worked well.

muy buena compra por la relacion del precio, producto y funcionabilidad!!

I band for security and not to create a handle to lift my packages. My packages are small so I don't use the tensioner as the band will be too loose when you remove the tensioner. I put the bands around my box, apply the metal clamp, and put the Box protector right angles on four corners to tighten the band, and finally I use clear packing tape around the whole box to cover the band.

This kit worked well for the job I bought it for. The only complaint was how hard it was to crimp the seal. It required all the strength I could apply to close the jaws.

Need two to do the job. Returned as I wasn't worth the use.
