Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping device configured to carry out a strap-attachment check cycle. After attaching leading and trailing strap ends of a strap to one another to form a tensioned loop of strap around a load, the strapping device is configured to carry out the strap-attachment cycle to test the strength of the attachment between the leading and trailing strap ends and to provide feedback as to whether the strap attachment is satisfactory.

A tying machine may include a twisting mechanism configured to twist a tying string. The twisting mechanism may include a twisting motor. The tying machine may be configured to obtain torque acting on the twisting motor as a twisting torque value, and stop the twisting motor when a predetermined tying completion condition is satisfied. The tying completion condition may include that an elapsed time since a rise in the twisting torque value was detected reaches a first predetermined time.

A manual bundling tool has a first operating means that positionally shifts relative to a tool body opposite a handle. A tightening mechanism pulls an other end of a cable tie band in relative to a head part by positionally shifting the first operating means. A holding mechanism holds the other end side of the band part pulled by the tightening mechanism so as to prevent return movement. A second operating means positionally shifts relative to the tool body. A securing mechanism secures the other end side of the band part to the one end side of the band part in response to positionally shifting the second operating means. A release operation means positionally shifts relative to the tool body and a release mechanism releases the hold on the cable tie band part by the holding mechanism in response to a positionally shifting the release operation means.

A manual binding tool has a first operating part opposite a handle unit and is capable of shifting positions relative to the tool body. A tightening mechanism pulls a second end in the lengthwise direction of the cable tie band part relative to a head part via operation of the first operating part. A holding mechanism holds the second end in the lengthwise direction of the band part pulled by the tightening mechanism to prevent a return movement. Second operating parts are provided to shift positions relative to the tool body. A fastening mechanism secures the second end of the band part in response to the operation of the second operating parts. Third operating parts are provided to shift positions relative to the tool body. A cutting mechanism cuts the second end of the band part in the lengthwise direction in response to the operation of the third operating parts.
