The SD190 is designed to work with fiber cord and woven webbing straps ranging from 13 mm to 19 mm in width, covering the most common sizes used in logistics and packaging applications.

How do I release the strap after tensioning?
The tool features a dedicated Release Lever that allows you to quickly and safely loosen the tensioner from the strap once the desired tension has been achieved and the strap has been sealed.
Q
Does the SD190 include a strap cutter?
A cutting edge is listed as an optional feature on some models, allowing users to trim excess strap after tensioning. Please confirm with the supplier whether the specific unit you are ordering includes this function.
