Insert the tail into
the buckle. The
internal locking bar
rolls freely as the
tie is tightened.
Unique Spring-
Tension Head Design
provides extra-snug
fit where bundle
tightness is critical.
How It Works
Once the proper tension is reached,
the tool automatically cuts off the
tail. The bar then wedges into the
buckle, locking it tightly against both
the top and bottom of the band.

at 100 lb. (444.8 N) load is 55% lower than conventional ball lock design)
• Rounded edges and smooth surfaces for fast, safe hand installation
• Buckle length is 38% less and height is 24% less than the conventional
ball-locking design
• 5 standard lengths with custom lengths available
• Available in two grades of stainless steel (302/304 for standard
applications and 316 for extra corrosion resistance)
Ideal Applications
• High-temperature locations
• Marine environment (ship building, salt water environment)
• Harsh environment (oil rigs, refineries, mills food processing
