Abstract
The present invention is a tensioning and cut off tool for applying a strap having a locking collar and a free end to a bundle. It features a quick release operating mechanism that cuts the strap with a snap action in response to a certain level of tension that has been applied to the strap by the tool. It also features a resetting means for resetting the tool after the cutting action to a position where the tool can be used again. It further features a non-tension responsive cutting mechanism so that either the quick release tension related operating mechanism or the non-tension related mechanism may be selected to cut the strap.
