Signode's new BXT4-16 is expected at the end of 2024 or beginning of 2025.

The new BXT4-16 strapping tool will work with 1/2" and 5/8".  The BXT3-16 is a battery-powered strapping tool that maintains several features of its predecessor, the BXT3-16. It has an improved display screen for easy adjustment of tension and weld settings, and it can switch between manual and automatic modes. The tension range is 90-560 pounds, and it's compatible with 1/2" or 5/8" polyester or polypropylene strapping. Weighing 8.4 pounds, it uses the new slim pack Bosch battery. The BXT4-16 has been designed for easier maintenance and includes a protective cover for the battery.

Allstrap opinion:

This Signode BXT4-16 tool is one of the easiest to use on the market.  The weakest two parts on the BXT3 were upgraded.  The blocking pawls (responsible for swinging the arm away from the feedwheel) was replaced a solid base.  The single base will make this BXT4 easier to use on round bunks like pipe.  With these improvements, the Signode BXT4-16 will be tied as our top recommended tool (P328, and Xtreme) are the other top tools)!
