Abstract
A tool for installation of a cable tie having a housing for supporting tensioning, cutting, actuating and restraining mechanisms. The actuating mechanism applies motivation support simultaneously to the tensioning and cutting mechanisms. The restraining mechanism, however, prevents actuation of the cutting mechanism until the desired predetermined tension is achieved. A ball detent assembly is at least included in the restraining mechanism for engaging the cutting mechanism sleeve with a circumferential force.
