The manual all-rounder
Anyone working with a manual strapping tool daily will know in time what is important in this segment: Such a tool should have an ergonomic design and require minimal effort in joining.
It should also be usable everywhere. The HKE-L makes it possible: thanks to the special knife movement where the three punching operations are carried out in quick succession instead of simultaneously.
With a weight of only 3.2 kg, it is the lightest tool in its class offering outstanding handling properties. The HKE-L can handle three strap widths as well as standard and high-performance straps.
Not only in practical use, but also during maintenance, this tool is particularly user-friendly and impresses with simple replacement of wear parts. A real all-rounder.
