New battery tools for 2" steel strapping, the tensioner (needs a separate wider nose) STB Battery Powered Tensioner for Steel Strapping and BC-250 steel sealer. These battery tools take a very difficult job, and make it easy to get to, and much easier to pull tension on 2" band, and to crimp 2" band. These tools will make it easier on the team to load railroad cars, and to band utility poles.
