Abstract

A tool for applying bundle ties comprises a frame supporting a reciprocable carriage in a guide path leading to a loop guide around which ties are to be driven by the carriage. The carriage is reciprocated by a drive rod having a handle projecting laterally through a slot in the frame for manual operation. A trigger is mounted in a handle of the frame and is coupled to the rod by a clutch arranged to engage the rod on rearward movement of the trigger.
