This auction is for a Signode 5/8" steel strapping stretcher or tensioner. It is in used condition, but it appears to be in good working condition. as a all the parts are intact, engage properly and move freely. As can be seen in the pictures this is a very high quality heavy-duty item, with a solid hefty structure and gears, and I would guess it probably must have been quite expensive new. It measures 11" long X 3" wide x# " high in the handle lowered position.
