Battery-powered combination tools for polyester strapping can be operated with one hand and have a rechargeable battery that allows the tool to be easily moved around a worksite. They don't need external attachments or power sources, speed processing, and reduce fatigue when compared to manually-operated combination tools. Combination tools tension, seal, and cut strapping in a single operation, eliminating the need to use different tools for each operation.

Pneumatic combination tools for polyester strapping, also called air-powered combination tools, are powered by a compressed air system to tension, seal, and cut strapping in a single operation, eliminating the need to use different tools for each operation. They can be operated with one hand, speed processing time, and reduce fatigue when used for long periods of time.

Manual combination tools for polyester strapping tension, seal, and cut strapping in a single operation, eliminating the need to use different tools for each operation. They require both hands to operate. They can be carried to the work location and do not require an external power source or attachments, so are often used in applications where access to a power source is limited.
