The Cable Tie Gun is used to bind together, with nylon or metal-wire ties, numerous items, such as cables, hoses, electrical wires, produce, etc.-all with the pull of the device's trigger. Once the objects are wrapped, the tool tightens the tie to the same tension as the others then cuts the excess off flush. Most makers offer a manually-operated version and a battery- or a pneumatic-powered version (recommended where repetitive-use, awkward body position, and/or heavier cable ties are required).
