Signode PF- Push Style Steel Strap Tensioner
The Signode PF uses its duckbill nose to push the seal and tighten the banding in a simple motion. The feedwheel allows for optimum strap uptake. The Signode PF weighs 4 lb. and is used on 3/8"- 3/4" steel strapping. For higher tension, the better option is the Signode PFH (for 3/4"-1 1/4"). The PF tool can be used on regular duty or high tensile steel strapping.
This tool has been discontinued. Signode has had a decade of problems, and canceling this tool was from the bad decision to make it in India instead of the US. Our opinion is that they could not get the quality right, and when Trump put the tariff on Indian products, it made the tool too expensive. It was either that or bad management, either way, the Signode PFH is no longer available. Instead, you should try the new battery powered pusher tensioner STB1600, or another manual version.
Allstrap Opinion: The Signode PF is a good tool, but we think the EP1610 is a much better value tensioner. The PF is a good strapping tool for pusher style seals.
