Abstract
A hand held tool for applying high tension to cable ties and severing the cable tie tail is provided and includes means for positioning the cable tie tail at an upward angle within the tool, linear reciprocating means for tensioning the cable tie tail, severing means to sever the tie tail flush with the cable tie head upon the attainment of a preselected tension level in the tie tail, tie releasing means for releasing the severed tie tail from the tensioning means actuating means which operatively connects the tensioning and severing means and means for applying a restraining force to the actuating means to restrain the actuating means from operation until the preselected tension is achieved in the cable tie tail, whereupon the actuating means actuates the severing means to sever the tie tail. An operative connection which links the tie tensioning means to the actuating means is located within the tool housing above the return spring which reduces the likelihood of the cable ties being over tensioned.
