Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a metal locking tie (50) and a metal locking tie tool (120). The metal locking tie has a tie body (52), a tie head (60) secured to the tie body, and a roller means (92) disposed in the tie head. The tie head has a bottom (60), a ceiling (62), opposing sides (80, 82), a strap entrance end (84) and a strap exit end (86) that define a strap receiving passageway (90)therethrough. The tie head also includes an angled tool bearing surface (88) at the strap exit end. The metal locking tie tool includes a cutter cap (124) with a cutter (122) and a ball setter (130). Once the metal locking tie tool has tensioned the metal locking tie, the cutter moves linearly with respect to the cutter cap to set the roller means in the tie head and to provide a flush cut off of the excess tie body from the metal locking tie.
