The benefit of not using pneumatic is the battery power gives you the same high performance, cycle-to-cycle. With pneumatic tools, your performance is dependent on consistent and clean air pressure, and lubrication. How much do customers spend on compressor power, maintenance and air hoses? For 1 1/4 tools, most users have the tool on a balancer. I'd love to see a head-to-head performance video BPT vs Kodiak. David Warn Cyklop Packaging USA InkJet Inc.
Responding to your comment about the Signode BPT H32 strapping tool and comparing it with the Kodiak steel strapping tool, you've raised some valid points regarding the benefits of battery-powered tools over pneumatic ones. Regarding the Signode BPT H32, it's indeed noteworthy that battery-powered tools like this provide significant mobility advantages by eliminating the need for air hoses. This mobility allows for free movement throughout the work facility. The BPT H32 is designed for high-speed operation and is effective on round and irregular shaped loads. However, there is a noted drawback in terms of its weight, which can make it cumbersome to carry around, potentially reducing its effectiveness in some plant environments. On the other hand, the Kodiak battery-powered steel strapping tool boasts of being the first tool capable of tensioning, sealing, and cutting 1 1/4" high tensile steel strapping in a single process. It offers a single-button operation for automatic tensioning, sealing, and cutting, making the process more efficient and user-friendly. The tool weighs only 14.3 pounds, which is a significant advantage in terms of mobility and ease of use compared to pneumatic tools. It's particularly lauded for its versatility and ability to generate 1,600 pounds of tension, making it a highly recommended tool for steel strapping applications, especially in settings where the weight and constraints of pneumatic hoses are problematic. Your suggestion of a head-to-head performance video between the BPTH32 and Kodiak is intriguing. Such a comparison could provide valuable insights into their respective performances in real-world conditions, particularly focusing on aspects like speed, ease of use, reliability, and overall operational efficiency. What do you want to see? In terms of cost considerations, customers using pneumatic tools do incur expenses related to compressor power, maintenance, and air hoses. The switch to battery-powered tools could offer cost savings in these areas. The long-term benefits of reduced maintenance and operational costs, however, could make battery-powered tools like the BPT H32 and Kodiak more economical over time. Overall, both the Signode BPT H32 and Kodiak steel strapping tools present strong features for their respective applications, and a comparative performance assessment could be beneficial for customers making a decision between the two.
