Panduit GTS-E/GTH-E cable tie hand tools offer low handle force
Panduit Corp is launching two new cable tie hand tools - the GTS-E for subminiature (3.629kg) to standard (22.680kg) cross-section cable ties and the GTH-E for standard (22.680kg) to heavy (79.379kg) cross-section cable ties. These tools offer a handle force that is 15 per cent lower than comparable industry tools, increasing productivity and enhancing worker safety.
The ergonomic design for comfort and grip reduces risk of operator fatigue during repetitive tool use, and repetitive motion injuries to hands during cable tie cut-off. The improved cable tie cut-off mechanism also reduces impact shock to an installer's hand by more than 40 per cent.
Frederic Kalb, OEM Business Development Manager says: "Panduit works closely with customers and partners to ensure that our tools increase productivity and are safe and comfortable to use. Regardless of the application sector - aerospace, rail, contract manufacturing, harness making - we believe that the GTS-E and GTH-E cable tie hand tools increase efficiency and improve the user experience."
Additional new features include:
- Single, easy-to-read tension adjustment knob in 12.7mm increments speeds adjustments and improves accuracy of tension settings with a simple pull and twist motion
- Bevelled tie entry allows quick side entry of tie into tool to speed installation
- Long and narrow barrel nose design improves visibility and access to confined areas
- Lightweight, durable design helps preserve consistent performance over time, reducing maintenance and replacement costs over years of use
