Signode's new GripPack PB 1 1/4” tensioner tool is battery powered and replaces the pneumatic PN2-114. The Signode GripPack tensioner runs off of an 18 volt Bosch battery. The battery tensioner is a pusher style, and uses its duckbill nose to push seals and pull tension. This PB-114 GripPack tool pairs with the Grip Pack 114 Sealer.  The GripPack tensioner runs 3/4" steel strap up to 1 1/4" steel strap with no adjustment.  

Versatility:

There are no tools more convenient than the battery powered tools. This GripPack Tensioner totally eliminates the cost of air lines and supplies similar tension as its pneumatic competitors. Not only do battery tools save cost, they offer the greatest mobility of any other tools. Even when compared to manual tools, the weight of battery tools is less so they can be easily transported around the loading dock and work room. Many people are surprised to hear the new Signode GripPack 114 Tensioner can pull 1,500 pounds of tension.  The Lithium-Ion batteries allow great tension to be pulled with just one squeeze of the handle. One charge of the battery can complete up to 120 strapping cycles.  The GripPack battery and charger are sold separately.

Allstrap Opinion: Signode's PB-114 GripPack tensioner is a welcome addition to steel strapping tools! Now steel service centers can band easily on the turntable, in containers and railroad cars. This tool can be used anywhere!  Thanks to the lithium battery, the days of manual and pneumatic steel strapping tools are over. 

Update 4-22:  This tool is not nearly as tough as the PN2-114/A452, but it does offer mobility.  There is another tool that performs better and is tougher, try the STB tensioner.  If you need mobility, there are not many choices and the original tensioner is the Signode PB-114.

Update 11-23: For this Grip Tensioner there are a bunch of problems you will see when you take the cover off, here are my biggest Grip Pack complaints:  1) The motor is not brushless 2) The aluminum spacer in front of the motor threads into another aluminum part.  Aluminum thread holds up only limited times, and then expensive replacements are needed. 3) The worm and worm gear are too small, so they burn out and need frequently replaced 4) the $15 cheap brushed motor will have the brushes burn out, when it does you also have to buy a new circuit board as they are sold only as a set 5) the sensor always goes bad. 6) The tool jams frequently, which will require a reset in maintenance to get the seal out of the Grip Pack Sealer jaws.
