Poly strapping is becoming more popular than steel strapping and there are now several tools in the market. Fromm’s P330 is a battery operated combination tool for seal less strapping. It uses the powerful lithium ion battery from Bosch which makes the whole process of tensioning, sealing and cutting very fast and efficient. All this is done at the touch of a button.
Ergonomically designed the P330 is compact tool with a small handle and is well balanced for all kinds of strapping positions.

In fact, many have switch over to friction weld seals as they are cost effective.
