New stainless steel cable tie hand tool offers high performance and reliability

Panduit has introduced a new ergonomic, manually operated, stainless steel cable tie hand tool with enhanced performance metrics and ergonomic features for application of standard, light-heavy and heavy cross-section Pan-Steel type MLT ties, type MLTC/MLTFC coated ties and type MLTDH double wrapped ties. Thanks to a new ergonomic design the GS4MT-E device gains from a 27% lower handle force than comparable tools. An improved cable tie cut-off mechanism reduces the handle shock to the installer’s hand by more than 50% in the heavy setting and by more than 30% in the standard setting compared to competitive tools. This makes the tool much more comfortable and easier to handle and decreases the risk of repetitive motion injuries for installers. Tension settings are quick, easy and accurate to adjust with just a pull and twist of the tension setting knob. The easy to read tension setting label of the tool improves accuracy while improving dependability. A bevelled tie side entry speeds insertion of a tie into the device. A long, narrow nose improves access to confined areas. Moreover, the new design of the tool also gives an extended tool life under normal operating conditions using the company's Stainless Steel Metal Locking Ties. Targeted applications are industrial and harsh environments, OEMs in the transportation, industrial, and defence/aerospace industries, as well as contractors for solar and wind energy projects.
