Bandit Industries designs and sells specialty hand tools used in the packaging, shipping and bulk transport industries to thread plastic and woven strapping through pallets for load containment . The company's first tool, the StrapBandit, was conceived on the notion that there had to be a better way to thread strapping through pallets. Threading is the first of three critical steps, followed by tensioning and sealing. The last two were figured out decades ago with sealing tools and tensioning tools, and an industry has evolved around these. Yet the first, and arguably most physical task, remained the most under served until now. From head to handle, every aspect of the StrapBandit was designed to make the threading process fast, efficient and safe. The durable head threads all common pallets and crates without getting stuck. Its unidirectional cleat easily and securely holds the strap. It's capable of delivering nearly all plastic and corded strapping, and its composite rod easily flexes to slip strapping through a 48 pallet, without having to bend over, even in spaces as tight as 12 inches.
