Abstract: A sealing tool for forming a crimp-type joint in a seal positioned on overlapping courses of strap includes a body and a motor and drive train housed in the body. The tool includes an inertia storage element to reduce power consumption. A crimping assembly is mounted to the body and coupled to the motor through the drive train. The crimping assembly includes a pair of opposing jaw elements pivotable toward one another to contact and form crimps in the seal and the strapping material. A guide pin operably connects the drive train to the jaw elements. A side plate encloses the crimping assembly and includes an elongated, slotted opening. A bearing element is mounted to the guide pin and positioned in the slotted opening. The bearing element facilitates movement of the guide pin as it moves through the slotted opening to pivot the jaw elements to the closed position. A seal position element provides indication that the seal is properly positioned in the crimping assembly.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a tool and a tool setting management system and method. The tool setting management system of the present disclosure is configured to pair with the tool of the present disclosure to change how the tool can function.
