A cable tie tool has a first operating unit, a second operating unit, a pivoting shaft, a torsion spring, a cutting assembly, and an extension spring. The second operating unit has two guiding holes aligned to each other. The pivoting shaft is mounted in the guiding holes, is pivotally connected the first and the second operating units, and is movable along the guiding holes. The torsion spring abuts against and pushes the first and the second operating units. The cutting assembly has an activating element pivotally connected to the second operating unit and a cutting element movably mounted in the second operating unit and driven by the activating element. The extension spring is connected between the activating element and the second operating unit. When the extension spring is stretched, the activating element blocks the pivoting shaft from moving along the guiding holes.

A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a curl forming unit, a cutting unit, and a binding unit. The binding unit includes a locking member that includes a first hook and a second hook and that locks the wire by moving the first hook toward the second hook. The locking member includes a locking part that locks the wire in a state in which the first hook has been moved toward the second hook, and an unlocking part that makes it possible for the first hook to be movable away from the second hook with such an amount of movement that the locked wire does not come off between the first hook and the second hook.

A rebar tying tool may include: a reel comprising a bobbin and a wire wound around the bobbin; a reel attaching part to which the reel is rotatably attached; a feeding unit configured to feed the wire from the bobbin around rebars; a twisting unit configured to twist the wire around the rebars; a type detector configured to detect a type of the reel; and a support supporting the reel attaching part, the feeding unit, the twisting unit, and the type detector. The type detector may include a movable member configured to move with respect to the support. The movable member may be at an initial position when the reel is not attached to the reel attaching part. The movable member may be at an attaching position according to the type of the reel when the reel is attached to the reel attaching part.

A cable grip includes structure to stabilize and center the grip on a cable.

A binding machine includes a wire feeder, a curl forming part, a cutter, and a binding part configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutter. The binding part includes a wire locking body to which the wire is locked; a rotating shaft configured to operate the wire locking body; and a wire holding part including a first member and a second member. The wire holding part is configured to bend the wire wound on the object in an axial direction of the rotating shaft by the relative movement of the first member and the second member approaching each other, and to hold the wire. The cutter is provided in a wire feeding path between the wire feeder and the wire holding part, and is configured to cut the wire after the wire is held by the wire holding part.

A binding machine includes: a wire feeder; a binding part configured to twist the wire wound around the object to be bound; a curl guide configured to curl the wire fed by the wire feeder; and an draw-in guide configured to guide the wire curled by the curl guide to the binding part, in which the draw-in guide includes a guiding facilitation part that comes into contact with the wire from a radially outer side of a loop that is formed by the wire curled by the curl guide, and applies, to the wire, a force that changes a feeding path of the wire, and a guiding concave portion, provided on a downstream side of the guiding facilitation part in a feeding direction of the wire, into which the wire, expanding toward the radially outer side of the loop, enters.
