Lack of portability and extreme heavy weight are few problems that have been issues in the pneumatic strapping industry for quite some time. These are appropriately taken care of with battery powered steel strap sealers and tensioners. Light weight and portable, these devices are designed to offer excellent strapping quality and tensioning power.
The Grippack 114 Sealer is one offer from Signode that is widely accepted for its helpful features. In fact, this is the first battery powered steel strap sealer, equipped with hi-tech features to handle 1 1/4″ high tensile strapping. Though it follows the basic mechanics of traditional strapping tools, this specific sealer is superior in many respects.

Why Grippack 114 Sealer is a better option than its pneumatic counterparts
Though there are many reasons, the first and foremost being it is powered by highly advanced 18 Volt Lithium-ion battery technology. Due to this battery, it can deliver 200-300 seals per battery charge. No need to look for a power source to recharge the battery every 10 minutes. There is an LED battery light which indicates charge level.
The machine operates smoothly and flawlessly. Just place the tool over the seal and pull the trigger. The joint is sealed perfectly and quickly. Since the LED light clearly indicates seal area this simplifies the operation. Besides, the machine is equipped with strap detection system which eliminates chances of misfire. Not only is the tool lightweight, but the sealer is designed ergonomically to reduce operator fatigue. It can be easily transported to places and then carry out the sealing.
The operator need not deal with inconsistencies which usually arise with pneumatically designed tools. The device has capability to deliver power packed performance without any air generation cost. Grippack 114 Sealer is quite durable and strong enough to handle heavy-duty hand tool applications.
With coming up of such advanced battery powered sealer options, it can be indeed confusing picking up the right one. A talk with an expert dealer surely helps in this regard. However, make sure to consult the one who has detailed know-how about Signode sealers and tensioners.
