Hand tensioner for strapping tape H-21

A manual tensioner is a tool used to tighten and secure strapping tape around a package or bundle. Here's how to use it:

1. First, feed the strapping tape through the tensioner's feedwheel or slot. Make sure the tape is centered and straight.
2. Next, wrap the tape around the item you want to secure, making sure it is snug but not overly tight. Leave a bit of excess tape at the end.
3. Now, use the tensioner to tighten the tape by turning the handle or feedwheel. This will pull the tape taut and ensure a secure hold.
4. Once the tape is sufficiently tight, use a separate tool, such as a crimper or sealer, to secure the tape in place by sealing the ends together.

It's important to note that different types of strapping tape may require different types of tensioners, so be sure to select a tensioner that is compatible with the tape you are using. Additionally, it's a good idea to practice using the tensioner on a small test package before attempting to use it on larger or more valuable items.
