Abstract
A cable tie application tool for applying cable ties about respective bundles. The tool applies the cable ties one at a time such that the tool performs one complete application cycle to apply each of the cable ties. The cable tie application tool includes a tool frame, a rotatable front jaw extending from a front portion of the tool frame, a rotatable bottom jaw extending from a bottom portion of the tool frame, and a front jaw locking mechanism for preventing the front jaw from being significantly rotated during at least one preselected period of the application cycle of the tool. This prevents the misalignment of cable ties during the application cycles and tool jams resulting therefrom. The bottom jaw cooperates with the front jaw during a portion of the application cycle to substantially encircle the bundle and facilitate the cable tie being applied thereabout.
