What’s the Difference Between Manual, Semi-Auto, and Electric Strapping Tools?

Here’s an easy breakdown:

Manual Tools

• Cheapest

• No electricity

• Best for low-volume work

• Requires more physical effort

Semi-Auto Machines (tabletop)

• Great for e-commerce warehouses

• Super fast

• Easy for new staff

• Perfect for medium volume

Electric Handheld Tools

• Fastest and strongest

• Best for medium to high volume

• Very consistent seals

• Less physical strain

If you strap daily, electric tools pay for themselves quickly.
If you strap occasionally, manual tools might be enough.
