ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a tool for tensioning and severing an elongate cable tie having a tie head portion and tie tail portion, the tool comprising a housing, structure for gripping and tensioning the tail of the cable tie, the structure including pawl links, and a tie guide plate integral with one of the pawl links and having a tie tail engaging surface, the structure being capable of reciprocating linear movement relative to the housing, and the structure including a rotatable pawl adapted to selectively engage the cable tie tail and apply pressure to the cable tie tail so that it is pressed against the tie tail engaging surface of the guide plate during linear movement of the gripping and tensioning structure, a pawl cover mounted on the pawl links, having opposite edges mounted in slots in the housing for sliding reciprocal movement with the pawl links, the pawl cover in the slots restraining the pawl links and the tie guide plate against twisting and impeding entry of the tie tail into the housing, and structure for severing the cable tie tail from the cable tie head upon attainment of a preselected tension in the cable tie.
