This tool is indeed both solid, weighing a hefty 34 pounds and robust, made completely from metal alloys, making this infinitely more durable than tools with plastic parts. It provides for double reverse notches for extra safety and is used in heavy industries that require high tensile steel strapping solutions. It supports a strap of 0.025 to 0.035 inch thickness and is nicely used to strap bundled tubes, slit coils and irregular loads.

BXT2-32 Battery Powered Strapping Tool
The BXT2-32 is the last in Signode’s BXT2 series of battery powered combination tools for plastic strapping. This tool is highly effective for heavy duty strapping applications especially in the lumber and metal industries. This a fully automatic combination tool using the 36 V lithium ion battery. This tool works well with 1”- 1 ¼” poly strapping and has a maximum joint efficiency of 75%. As with all other battery operated tools, this tool also comes with two batteries and a charger.1
The BXT2-32 can be run in manual or automatic mode. The manual mode has a tension button, and a weld/cut button. Like in smaller strapping tools, here the tension button can be toggled and the feed wheel is pulled until the button is released. Most industry users like the automatic more where the strapping can be set to pull at the operator’s preset level. It then automatically goes on to weld and then cut.
Specifications
- Strap qualities: Polyester (PET)
- Strap dimensions: 1″ and 1-1/4″
- tension: 1,460 pounds
- Sealing type: Friction-weld sealing
- Weight (including battery): 3 pounds
The tool is very strong and powerful and due to this feature, Signode has added a safety sensor at the back of the tool near the battery. This has been added to ensure that the operator’s hand does not get smashed under the banding as both hands will be on the tool. Signode’s tools also come with a safety and user manual that provide instructions comprehensively on how to handle the tool and maintain it. The manufacturer also insists that operators were safety goggles and gloves while operating the tool.
As it is a heavy duty tool, wear and tear is comparatively reduced when compared wit other competing tools. Due to the brushless motor, the tool is durable and very cost effective. As the tool uses the lithium ion battery the work is fast and efficient. The battery has become very popular in the industry as it has helped increase the productivity. The battery is also long lasting, durable and holds charge for a long time and recharges quickly. The BXT2-32 was also tested for the tension it pulls and it was found that it pulled 1600 pounds.
