A rebar binding machine comprises a curl guide that causes a wire to curl, a torsion part including a torsion shaft for twisting the curled wire, and a pair of grips that can be grasped by an operator. The grips are provided to the two axial sides of the torsion shaft as viewed from the operator side when the operator grasps the grips to perform an operation, and it is possible to change the height of the grips in the axial direction of the torsion shaft.

A pliers, configured to assemble an end cap to a vehicle cable, an end cap set including a plurality of end caps connected with one another, the pliers including: a main body and a connecting mechanism. The main body includes a first handling portion, a second handling portion and a receiving portion. The first handling portion is pivotally connected with the second handling portion. The first handling portion is movable relative to the second handling portion between a first position and a second position, and the receiving portion has a receiving space configured to receive the end cap set. The connecting mechanism is connected with the first handling portion and includes a cutting portion, a pressing portion and a feeding member. The cutting portion and the pressing portion correspond to the receiving space, and the feeding member is configured to move the end cap set.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to adjustable closure devices. One embodiment has a strap, a connector attached to a strap end, a chafe mounted on the strap behind the connector, and a hinged handle on the chafe. The chafe has a two outer bars and a central bar, these bars defining strap through-paths. The strap end-region has path segments arranged, directionally from the strap's central region toward the strap end at the chafe, or, in embodiments that configure the strap as a pulley, at the connector. An adjustable length region of the strap spans between the chafe and the connector. An elevatable handle configuration allows a user to pull the chafe to which it is connected along the strap, away from connector. As the chafe moves along the strap, the strap can transition between a large circumference configuration and small circumference. Some embodiments have a strap friction-locking mechanism associated with the handle and the chafe.

A binding machine includes: a rotation shaft driven by a motor to rotate; a movable body that moves in an axial direction of the rotation shaft in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation shaft and that rotates about the rotation shaft; an elastic body that is compressed by the movement of the movable body along the axial direction of the rotation shaft and that is configured to apply tension to a wire adapted to bind an object to be bound by an expanding force; and a prevention member configured to prevent generation of a force for twisting the elastic body by the rotation of the movable body.
