Abstract
A band tensioning tool is provided that includes an easily replaceable blade and knife. More specifically, a banding apparatus is provided that does not require that a maintenance cover be removed to gain access to a knife, a front gripper, and a blade. This feature reduces tool head height, and the blade is interconnected to the tool head as opposed to being contained within the tool head and supported in a cantilevered manner.
Claims1

- providing a band tightening tool including a gripping mechanism having a gripper and a slot with a slot proximal end;
- and
- gripping, adjacent to said slot proximal end, contacted portions of said banding material.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
