Abstract

A compact hand-operated pneumatic strapping tool is disclosed. The tool has a compact arrangement of the sealing and the tensioning valves, and a combination sealing motor/valve module arrangement. A cam driven tooth terminates the sealing step. The valve/motor arrangement results in a more compact and lighter weight strapping tool, for drawing a steel strap around a load, and sealing the strap by punching interlocking slits into the strap ends.
