Abstract: A buckle used to fasten opposing ends of an object encircling strap around a bundle. The buckle includes a base and a lever tensioner. The base has a bottom and two opposing sides extending from the bottom. Each side includes a first end and a second end. The sides at the first end of the base have pivot holes. The lever tensioner is pivotally connected to the base. The lever tensioner includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the lever tensioner includes pivot hinge tabs. The pivot hinge tabs are positioned in the pivot holes of the base to pivotally secure the lever tensioner to the base.

Abstract: The preset invention is directed to an embossing tool. The embossing tool includes a drive mechanism that advances a tape, an embossing mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism cuts the tape to form a tag. The cutting mechanism also forms a mounting feature in the ends of the tag. The cutting mechanism includes a pair of dies with openings therethrough and at least one punch moveable within the openings for engaging the tape.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fiber cleaving tool that cleaves a fiber optic cable flush with the ferrule's end face. The fiber cleaving tool has a tool body with a tensioning mechanism and a cleaving mechanism. A handle extends from one end of the tool body and a lever is pivotally connected to the opposite end of the tool body. The lever has a trigger blade that activates the cleaving mechanism to cleave the fiber optic cable extending from a connector positioned in the tool body.
