High leverage tensioning tool with auto cut-off,for
continuous use on-the-job. The TY6 Tensioning
Tool is designed for a heavy user of nylon ties.
An adjustment knob allows installer to set desired
tension for securing flex duct to a take-off collar.
When the tie is tight, a breakaway spring mechanism
releases the tool’s lower handle, causing the blade
to engage and automatically flush cut off the excess
tail of the nylon tie. No extra operation for manual
trimming is required. Nylon tie installation is fast and
easy with the TY6. Works on all ties including thin
designs.
Operating the TY6 is easy on the installer too!
Contoured handles, with stops, are easier to grasp.
Also, smooth lever action and vinyl cushion grips
minimize hand and arm fatigue on big jobs.
The TY6 features a hardened steel body, long
wearing parts, and a weather resistant nickel chrome
finish to assure many years of dependable service.
