Signode AM-34 Combination Steel Strapping Tool
Signode AM-34 is a manually operated seal-feed combination tool. Signode's tool cuts both 5/8” or 3/4" x up to .025" HT with out needing to change guides and adjustments, saving operator time. Since the AM-34 is a combination tool, the tensioner, sealer, and cutter are all included which speeds up workplace productivity and efficiency. One downfall of this tool is its heavy weight, but that is true of any combination tool since it is essentially three tools in one. Therefore, the AM-34 needs to be placed in a stationary position prior to use since the tool is hard to transport from place to place. For quick and easy loading, the AM-34 uses AMP magazine seals.
Lead time may vary for this Signode tool, please call for details.
Allstrap Opinion:
This was a very good strapping tool in the 1980s... Back in the day, you could put a full stack of seals in the AM 58/34 tool and band a bunch of skids before needing to reload seals. Today, it is a horrible idea to be using this tool. The AM58 is heavy, slow, and takes crazy expensive seals (which are sometimes hard to get). Stop using seals, and jump to our favorite sealless tool, the STASC (HT). Almost no one today uses this tool. You should consider poly strapping, a steel strapping sealless tool, or a battery powered tool like the Yukon. We do not suggest the Signode AM-58.
Allstrap Opinion (updated 4-22): This is a really tough tool, and good if you must use clips. Otherwise you should look at a sealless strapping tool, and don't require the expensive AMP seals.. They are tested, proven, and don't require the expensive AMP seals. You should consider the sealless tool ASC, or battery powered sealless Yukon or SLB.
