Title: Bundle strapping tool

Abstract: A tool adapted to receive the free end of a self-locking bundle tie formed of stainless steel or the like which has a loop disposed about a bundle of articles such as electrical wires or cables. The tool is provided with a handle which is manually reciprocated to operate the tool. In operation the tool will initially tighten the loop about the bundle of articles by applying tension to the free end of the bundle tie. After the desired tension is achieved within the loop, continued operation of the tool will cause the tension applied to the free end of the bundle tie to be relaxed, the free end of the bundle tie to be subsequently cut adjacent the loop. The tool is a compact hand tool designed to cut stainless steel bundle ties with a minimum of force.
