For all those industries that have not made the switch to battery operated tools, the P380 is a boon. This pneumatic strapping tool is very fast and is also the first tool that was designed to strap round and irregular objects. Fromm is one of the top strapping tool brands that is constantly designing and innovating new tools that can bring about increased productivity and efficiency in the packaging industry. The popularity of their tools in the market can vouch for the efficiency of their tools in the industry they are being used.
Though the P380 Fromm tool looks a little bulky, it is the most useful tool in the market to strap irregular objects. Weighing 15 pounds, the P380 is a very easy to operate tool and is very popular among the workers using it. It has become a favored tool and has now become the standard for packing pipes, bars and other round packages.

The present version of the P380 has undergone some improvements. Its feedwheel and welder are now separated. The feedwheel is behind the welder now and this makes the foot look smaller under the strapping. Since it is smaller it becomes easy to pull out from under the tight strapping. In almost all the other tools, the feedwheel swings out away from the strapping and this is not possible on round applications. As the P380 has now been improved, this problem has been solved. Meanwhile, this tool comes with a suspension bracket, by which the worker can counter balance it vertically or horizontally.
The P380 also has adjustable tension levels that can accommodate any application size. The seal is also guaranteed to be strong and secure. Another great feature of this tool is that there is lesser risk of injury while using this combination tool. The P380 is also reliable and cost effective, which is one of the majors factors industries take into consideration while buying tools. The other advantage in this tool is that it does not leave any mark on the surface of the strapping or leave any mark on galvanized and coated products. The strong seal that gets applied with this tool is very reliable throughout the transit time.
Though P380 continues to be popular, there are several in the industry who are constantly switching over to battery operated tools which are very fast and efficient and equally reliable. There are battery operated combination tools too that are very efficient.
